Kantor said: I think you greatly overestimate how much people actually care about the amount of RAM inside a console. There would be no meltdowns if the NextBox had more than 8GB GDDR5 RAM, because that would be a ridiculous waste of money and resources. Even 8GB is pushing into the realms of absurdity. |
To play the devil's advocate though, I do think people do care about numbers, and if their console has bigger numbers than the other consoles. But then you have to take into account there's many fucking numbers:
Price
Number of exclusives
Dates
etc
And yeah, I have no idea what RAM really does. I think it's the memory that actually stores and runs the applications? I mean, there's a reason why I'm a console gamer...
