I believe the dev community was begging for 8gb of memory than any thing else. The fact that its GDDR5 is is just a nice addition. The key will be if 8gb of GDDR5 is not overkill for the price/ performance. MS get around the price/performance with the fast SRAM. For a game not all ram need to be fast or even have as much bandwidth. It could be that MS can achieve close to the same performance asPS4 for cheaper.
