Not sure if someone mentioned it, but:
Afaik 4Gb/512MB GDDR5 chips will release this or next quarter to the mass market. See http://www.skhynix.com/products/support/databook.jsp


Ah that changes things a bit, still I doubt Sony would go for more than 4GB even with 4Gb chips available. I imagine that the new chips will be very expensive in the short term, costs should come down as production ramps up so I guess they could take a short term loss with the expectation costs will drop over the next couple years.

Well, I think 512MB chips are needed to reach the 4GB target. 16 chips would be insane.
