> 50% in this generation make do with 4GB or less... Surely that means most people are fine with 8GB?

Consumers may be fine with low onboard storage suitable for minor patches, game saves and small DD games, but developers would definitely prefer having extra onboard storage to improve the performance of their games.

That's one of the most often quoted liabilities of the Xbox 360 by developers.

Actually the reason why the Xbox 360 has no HDD in the Arcade is because they doubled the RAM in the console to 256 MB, so it was a good tradeoff because the alternative was even worse.

Anyway if Nintendo go for a reasonable system such as 1GB of RAM with 6-8* Blu Ray they'll have a better stream speed/memory size ratio than the PS3, including the HDD streaming from the install (if applicable)
