Anybody think 8 gb of GDDR5 is a mistake for PS4

I do think its unbalanced. But I think they went this route more for the non-gaming centric services such as always on video recording and video chat, etc.

I think all these 8GBRAM!!!!! screamers will be a bit tiffed when they realize how much of it is actually going to be available for games. (hint its not 8GB)

Well back when it was using 4GB, only 512MB were allocated to the OS according to rumors. So if we assume everything doubled then right now 7GB are for games and 1GB for OS. Compare that to the next XBox with points to 3GB being used for OS and only 5GB for games. Then there's the fact that it's only using DDR3 while PS4 is using GDDR5. No matter how you look at it, PS4 has the RAM advantage...

by current rumors. I don't see them using 3Gb RAM just for OS.
