| ninjablade said: i'm not really sure but i keep hearing how expensive the ultra fast ram is, so i started thinking wouldn't it be cheaper if had they gone with a 2.5 gflops GPU and 4gb gddr5, wouldn't that make the system cheaper and give it better graphics, i just don't see how they could use the 8gb or even 4gb, the budget for the game would be insane. |
Only 4GB of ram of any type means to not give the developers what they want. The price will drop on the memory. Better to pay the price early than later.
As of now Sony putting 8 GB of memory, along with likely Microsoft blocks Nintendo again from getting third party major releases. From a competitive standpoint, this is good for Sony. It is going to be a few years before things hit their groove anyhow for next gen, so the price should come down.
