The file which contains source code for older titles plus development kits for the PS4 and Xbox One consoles, is encrypted and SuperDaeE claims that it is his insurance in case he gets arrested."

    I never user products from companies who feed customer data to the NSA. Are you listening, Google?

    So how are you posting this again? Every Internet company is feeding data to the NSA sooooo?

    The xbox 360 base SDK is 2GB. If you count all extra stuff for Kinect etc. it's even bigger.
    And they probably have tons of other middleware software, some of which could come with their own editing and authoring tools. That alone could account for a hundred gigs if not more.
    Then there is source code. It's not unusal for a piece of software to have sources that account for 500MB, and several gigabytes if you include binaries.

    All in all they probably also have binary assets of some sort, but software does take quite some space on a disk.
