I don't get it, isn't RAM a pretty important factor in a video game console. If so then why are they only maxing next gen at about 2 GB? they can probabbly get 4 GB for 5 bucks, why not put a lot in it?

Computer Ram != Console Ram

 

Consoles typically rely on a unified pool of high end VRam such as Gddr5 or XDR

These memory types need to be soldiered directly on to the unit, unlike the ram cards you are probably accustomed to, and have very very steep prices.

Thansk for clearing that up, makes sense now.
