What devs have asked for 8GB on a console? I thought I read one.. .maybe valve that asked for 6 or more than 4 or something similar.

Crytek:  next generation of consoles should have “a minimum” of 8GB’s of RAM... both the 360 and the PS3 are running on 512MB of DDR3 RAM, which Sousa described as “the biggest crippling factor from a visual perspective.”

DICE: "Two gigabytes would not be enough when it comes to RAM [random access memory]" Andersson said. "Four gigabytes would work. Eight gigabytes? Yeah. I think that would be perfect when it comes to memory." 

SE: Enix believes the PS4 and Xbox 8 will need as much RAM as possible if they want to match the experience of PCs with ever-evolving hardware. So no specific amount given here, but I doubt, and I think you'll agree, that "as much RAM as possible" = 2gb.

As for CPU/GPU, even if memory is 2-3x times, I dont' think that means by default you can expect CPU/GPU to be 2-3x greater. While I think that variance is likely, it could technically be much larger. So 2-3x is like the minumum, or it's unlikely to be any lower?
