I don’t think the amount of RAM is relevant here, my PC at most ever uses like 25% of what I have because the games are designed around the specs that PS4/XB1 have. 

It is absolutely, most certainly relevant. - Having an understanding of how the PC's memory hierarchy works and how it is utilized will tell you that... And even if a game is not using all of your memory, your PC will still use that free Ram.

There is a reason why PC games are exceeding 10GB+ of system memory and 6GB+ GPU memory used (16GB+ total) when the Xbox One and Playstation 4 only have 5-6GB in total just for games.

I certainly get more than 25% utilization out of my 32GB of RAM and I often get 80-90% utilization easily out of 16GB on my other system.

Shit, even if I had 256GB of Ram I would be able to use more than 50% of it with ease... And I could make the SSD's in the unreleased next-gen consoles seem painfully slow by comparison because of it.
