Do you people really expect the 720 and PS4 to have 8GB of memory? Oh wow haha. Most desktops don't have 8gb right now. You can game perfectly fine on 4gb even on Windows 7. 8Gb just adds more room for comfort. Heck 16gb of ram in a desktop has been shown to REDUCE fps in certain situations. When the desktop has too much memory than it needs. Higher speed memory > Amount usually. 4gb of high speed memory will go a long way over 8gb of slower memory. Of course there's a huge difference between 512mb and 2gb of memory. Next gen consoles will be fine with 2-3gb. Even 4 might be overkill.
