The best news here is 8GB of whatever kind of RAM, this will avoid problems to fully tap HW power later in the consoles life and to port big games from other platforms.
Also, high capacity GDDR5 chips are still quite expensive NOW, but in 10 or more months they will have been already put in another several millions (or even tens million) devices, driving costs down. We aren't anymore in the times of late '90s - early '00s RAM crises, when producers made RAM prices wildly jump up and down, forcing BTW MS to halve XB1's initially planned 128MB RAM, and forcing games devs to quickly patch PC-XB multiplat games or to cripple them.
