Yes I understand that but I really think Sony should have gone maybe 4gb ddr5 for gaming purposes and maybe 4gb ddr3 for everything else. Sure in the long run it may be beneficial but wasn't the cell supposed to be beneficial in the long run too? I'm just thinking that Sony might be digging themselves in a financial hole again. If Durango specs hold true then it is likely that Microsoft can easily launch for $100 less than ps4 which may be fatal. If Sony plays hard ball and decide to match whatever price Microsoft sets then they will lose quite a bit of money for each unit sold. 

Fatal?  The PS3 launched for $200 more than the 360 and 1 year later.  1 1/2 years later in EU, one of Sony's most important regions.  How did that turn out?  Sony is about to pass the 360 sometime this year (probably in 2-3 quarters).  So, now we have the PS4 launching the same year as the NeXbox, and it might be $100 more expensive (I'm guessing $50-$75 will be more accurate).  MS doesn't stand a chance in EU and Japan.
