Once again, I see reports and I see people jumping to conclusions.

The PS4 reserves 3.5 of ram for the os, what does it means? the ps4 has 4.5 gb of ram for games, and it's a "powerful" home console. If the switch has a simplistic and not demanding os, they could use less ram for the os, and 3 to 3.5 gb of ram for games. For contex, xbox uses 3gb of 8gb, so in paper the xbox has more ram than the ps4, but guess what? does not matter, not one bit. Ram is not going to be a problem for western developers like some are saying? why? because game engines are scalable and if your game can run with 5 gb of ram, optimization can make a game run with 3 gb of ram.

so let's say the rumor is true.

Ps4. 4.5 gb of ram

xbox one. 5 gb of ram

switch 3 to 3.5 gb of ram, or guess what? 4gb of ram for games if  they could use the wholeee 4 gb of ram if the os doesn't interfiere when playing games, something like the gamecube. But what about other functions? just like the wii u gamepad, a quick launch menu for apps while playing games. Nintendo does stuff like this, even the os of the wii u uses just 1gb of ram and that was made as a home console, not as a hybrid.

it's not just about numbers friends, we have to wait for the details.

*edit*

Where did my text go? o.o

Regardless, Thank you!!

not all RAM is created equal. it's also important to know what type of RAM it is... Is it DDR3? DDR4? GDDR5? My phone has 4GB of RAM as well

In any case, 4GB is plenty of RAM for a handheld to render games at 720p, so I'm not seeing the issue here really

exactly there are a lot of scenarios, that's why I like to wait and see. 

I love how everyone was ridiculing me for saying Switch is a tablet instead of a home console. But the instant the specs are leaked everyone is instantly talking about how its a handheld and how relieved how weak the system is.

What happened to all that home console talk?

well the form factor is a tablet, that you can put on a dock to use the thing as a  home console.

especially those people daydreaming about how it would be able to game on the go and still be more powerful than a PS4... man I miss those delusions xD

You are seriously the biggest nintendo apologist on this site. Serious question... do you work for nintendo branding? 

It legit looks like you areally a Nintendo social media marketer...
