This fits my theory that this change in RAM is exactly why we didn't see a PS4 in the box yesterday. They are busily changing all the innards to address the new RAM chips and that of course will change the entire design of the rest of the system from cooling, power, and of course physical shape/form.

 

ORRRRRRRRR

Only 4GB is reserved for games and the other 4GB is for all the other shit they mentioned. O_O

This is EXACTLY the case and when people find this out this E3, people will be disappointed as usual because they allowed themselves to be hyped as usual.  The WiiU has 2GB of memory, HALF of which will be used for the OS alone.  The same could very well be used for all of the other features/OS the PS4 would use.


Nonsense lmao. The PS4 has 8GB of unified memory, it can be used both by cpu and gpu dynamically, there is no fixed part of that set for either chip. For the OS PS4 should not use more than 1.5GB, its not running Windows 8 on the console so OS footprint will not be excessive, the PS3 OS is currently like 30-40MB, no way it will be 50x more on PS4.  It has an extra chip that handles video uploading and streaming aswel.
