Part of that is because it costs big bucks to buy that shelf space in
stores like Wal-Mart or Best Buy. Smaller boxes means you can put more
SKUs on the shelf and hopefully means more money (from the companies'
viewpoint).
Just be glad that we aren't at the stage of the console games where
all you get is a CD and jewel case.
