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?

What year do you think Gen 9 will start? I say about 2020 to 2022
