I'm surprised by how developers are insisting on higher RAMs. Consoles are not designed to do multitasking like their PC counterparts, which makes 8 GB RAM's advantage least utilized on consoles. Instead a 4GB RAM(console's exclusive with higher bus frequency) would suffice more than enough for next gen gaming. Crytek better not be eulogizing higher memory requirements to utmost proportions, instead a little bit about what CPU/GPU next gen consoles use.
