8gb=loooooong loading times(even if the game is installed on a very fast ssd)=will not be accepted by most gamers

8gb=1/3of a single layer blu ray

8gb=more than the capacity most games(even pc games) have at all


with a good data management ,good lightning effects and streaming 4 gb should be enough

Haha wow. Games don't just transfer all their assets over to RAM upon game load. I have 8GB of RAM and don't have long load times at all. And I have a traditional HDD, not an SSD. Good lighting effects need more RAM, not less. I can't see how you think good lighting reduces RAM usage? Texture Streaming isn't something you want to be totally rely on either.
