Why would consoles need 8GB of RAM? Not even a PC fully utilizes that for gaming, and I honestly see that changing in the next few years. Even IF gaming PCs will need 8GB of RAM in the future, consoles still don´t need it because of the better optimisation. My guess remains at 4GB RAM

Multi-tasking. Have a browser or some apps open in the background while playing Uncharted 4 and switch between them seamlessly.
This requires a lot of RAM. Sony will probably go for split ram like they did with the PS3 and Nintendo with the Wii U. I say 2gigs for Apps/OS, and 4gigs for games.
