No. He is not wrong.

You are reading the variables incorrectly on top of comparing a PC game to a console game in which data is used in entirely different ways for different reasons.

I'm not reading anything incorrectly... in fact Skyrim uses more GPU memory than CPU memory... and 256MB of RAM is not enough to render a game at 720p without tweaks or sacrificing the quality.

PS3, 360, Wii and any other console did tweaks or sacrifice quality because the low GPU memory.

360 suffers less from this but even so I doubt you have a game that has used more than 350MB of VRAM on 360 (~100MB for CPU).

The GPU not uses the memory just to output the image... it uses the memory for work with them... so it use a lot more than need to just output.
