Did Sony at any point say how much RAM the OS will use? As a Nintendo fan I'm a bit worried this will be a problem for multiplats :/

they didnt, but i dont think it would be over 2 GBs. that would leave 6GB for games, not only is that 6 times more than what the WiiU has, but its also much faster. 

Actually, less than 1gb is reserved for OS and over 7gb is available to developers.

did they confirm that?

No, i'm just giving vauge information from my experience developing on the system.

Also, regarding video recording it's sent to ram and reamed from ram to hdd to prevent dropped frames but also to keep ram usage for the functionality to a minimum, and allow for extremely long recordings.
