I guess on late Amigas (Amiga 1200 and 4000) it was rather common (at least in europe). The game with the most disks that I have is "Biing: Sex, Intrigue and Scalpels" (19 Disks). And you absolutely had to install the game to your HDD since it (obviously) wouldn't run from floppy. There were quite a few games you had to install that way. So I guess to be profitable there must've been a decent install base of said peripherals.

This or they released them on CD. And of course I had an CD-Rom drive too to play the CD32 games (I've bought James Pond 2 and 3, Simon the Sorcerer, Universe and Worms) or the native Amiga CD games (i.e. Inherit the Earth, Foundation, Pinball Brain Damage) or the many cover CDs of the magazines on my Amiga 1200. Beside games the last classic Amiga OS 3.9 was released on CD-ROM too aswell as some productivity software like Wordworth or all those raytracing software like Maxon Cinema 4D.
