I never understood why consoles got away with so little RAM. My 10 year old PC has a 2.8 GHz processor (single core, big difference), but 2 GBs of RAM. My Laptop has 4GBs of DDR3 RAM, heck my cell phone has 512MB.

How does a console get away with so little? It's a cheap upgrade. Maybe it's because the RAM is dedicated, it's faster?

A few posts up will explain it for you

Where?

and good hypothesis VGKing, I agree with you. I think the Wii U will be the equivalent of the Wii compared to GCN and XB. It will look better, but not by much, and it will depend on how the developer uses the system (e.g. XenoBlade looks amazing, but Fire Emblem looks old).

lol must have read it in another thread

 

anyway consoles get away with less ram due to the fact that they don’t run an OS in the background while they are running games also devs put in more work in their codes to get what they want out of the system.

 

I mean looking at the PS360 and you see how much they can do with so little ram compared to PC’s
