It always shocks me just how little ram consoles have.

Consoles are not PCs.  Consoles aren't running memory intensive operating systems and multitasking with multiple memory-hog progams at once.

Go check out the specs from older consoles on Wiki and you'll be even more shocked... did you know the original PlayStation had a whopping 1MB... that's ONE MEGABYTE... of dedicated VRAM?

To be fair, even PCs back then didn't always have dedicated 3D graphics cards. I used to run Tomb Raider, Quake II, Half-Life and Age of Empires in software mode. Graphics cards like the VooDoo were only just starting to take off.
