Miguel_Zorro said: Some additional context for everyone. The jump from one generation to the next has been quite large historically. The 8GB prediction almost seems modest when you look at the specs below. Gen 2: Atari 2600 - 128 bytes RAM Intellivision - 1456 bytes Gen 3: NES - 2kb + 2kb. Sega Master System - 8kb + 16kb (One could say this the first example of Mario winning for Nintendo on a console with less power) Gen 4: SNES - 128kb main + 64kb video Sega Genesis - 64kb main + 64kb video Gen 5: Sony Playstation - 2MB + 1MB N64 - 4MB Sega Saturn - 1MB + 1MB + 3MB Gen 6: Playstation 2 - 32MB + 4MB XBox - 64MB GameCube - 14MB + 16MB + 3MB Dreamcast - 16MB + 8MB Gen 7: Playstation 3 - 256MB + 256MB XBox 360 - 512MB Wii - 24MB + 64MB Gen 8: WiiU - 2GB It also shows that the console with the most RAM isn't necessarily the "winner" - in fact, it usually isn't. So no need to get too worked up about it. |
Soo...Gen 9 with 64GB Ram confirmed?
