Plus, 2 disc sets were very common for PS1 and they were easily marketed. Look, a DVD as a support cost almost nothing and this is a fact. And people buy multi disc sets because they always did and this is another fact.

Anyway, I have nothing against new technologies, nor against Blue Ray or any other support. I just don't believe that in the next generation we will need 100 GB, but actually, as long as retail prices don't rise, I don't give a f@ck.
The biggest reason that there are few multi-disc games for the PS2 is because there is no point putting graphics in a game, or any other kind of detail in a game, when the machine is simply going to be incapable of processing it. If you can do more at one, you'll need more storage. Simple.
