2gb? thats pretty good.

Xbox and ps4 to have 8GB then.

No, they won't.   Law of diminishing returns hits pretty heavily after 2 GB on a home console.

Yeah, its so rediculous reading some of these RAM expectations. I've benched current top games on PC and even with Windows 7 running along with browsers, anti virus stuff and many other processes, I've never seen RAM usage go over 6 gigs. And that is with 3 monitors. Games on consoles won't need more than 2 GB of ram next gen.

Regarding Nintendo, I hope the GPU has some dedicated RAM as well. Maybe 500 MB on the GPU and 1 GB for system. If so, WiiU is in great shape.

More so than just that, check the RAM usage of the games executable file in Task Manager.   Most games even on high details and high resolutions don't use more than 1.5 GB.
