Yes. Though, it kind of depends on the mood of third parties. If the 8 gig to 2 gig difference between PS4 and WiiU is a factor in discouraging 3rd party WiiU development, then it may be worth it to have that extra 4 gig. But outside of that factor, I think it was probably a poor - though not terrrible - decision. If I were in charge of Sony, I would have gone with a cheaper spec'd system. Sell it at a good price, near cost and get the price down asap. It's always been the most successful strategy in this industry. PS1&2 were both underpowered and dominated. Sony should have made their system games-focused and cheap. If MS is using half of their RAM to operate Windows anyway, 4 gig would have been more than enough for PS4. If Sony launched PS4 at 399 this fall and had it to 299 by next year, they could potentially dominate the industry. As it stands they will struggle to hit those prices without massive losses. Most people don't care about specs, only price and games. If it's called PS4 most people will think it's good regardless of what's under the hood.
