PS5 needs to be relevant until 2028, 32 GB should do that. The OS also needs to be native 4K with 4K60 video game play recording and improved multitasking. The OS will probably eat up 8GB of memory if not more.

The relevancy of consoles is not that dependent on power though before 6-7 years of age.

It's dependent on memory though. The 5GB available for games is a bottleneck on ps4, just as the 256 mb graphics ram last gen severely crippled some games on ps3. More memory also helps loading times as more things can be kept in memory without having to be reloaded from disk. As games get bigger and bigger, load times are going to be a challenge. Game sizes outpace affordable SSD storage for now.
