Just as a data point - Chrome has more code than the linux kernel - Would you say BioShock Infinite seriously has a larger code base than Chrome?
I think a lot of people don't estimate correctly just how huge Chrome is.

OS are much larger than kernel, I'd guess all the driver code exceeds the actual kernel.
People always think they code base is large, but having built most of the Call of Duties and many Unreal games, all the OS code I've worked on is trivial in size comparison. There is probably something bigger, but games seem bigger than many major apps in my experience.
