The RAM different between Xbox 720 and PS4 comes down to a quantity vs quality.
Xbox has the quanity, PS4 has the quality. The question is which games work best with which set-up?

Nah it really doesn't come down to that at all. 

If this rumor is to be believed it comes down to the following:

PS4 GDDR5 - able to push larger amounts of data at once, but much slower cycle rate

360 DDR3 - able to push less data at once but do it more rapidly + having more memory to work with.

PS4 - .50 caliber machine gun firing 5 rounds per second

360 - .30 caliber machine gun firing 10 rounds per second and having more ammo to fire with.

 

I really don't know how else I can illustrate this to people...GDDR5 doesn't necessarily mean faster performance. Infact for non GPU tasks its much worse. 

I think you mean XBox 720? And I'm pretty sure GDDR5 is FASTER than DDR3. Am I wrong?
