Yes but ultimately is there a need? Would ports utilise the extra ram? Unlikely as most ports never bothered to use most of the Cell processor.
Exclusives could use the RAM but again, is there really a need? Considering it looks like both the PS4 and nextbox will use 8GB of RAM, freeing up an extra 256mb (if that) seems a waste of time.

It's easier to use extra RAM than an architecturally challenging processor though. A little bit more wiggle room could make the difference between, "a cut down port is possible" and "porting would be impossible."

I doubt it will happen myself, but its a possibility, no? Didn't they do it with the 3DS?


Yeah I suppose it would make things easier, and maybe certain things more console specific e.g. DLC could harness such a thing. Is it possible? Certainl, however I would be surprised if it was used. 

So would I, it doesn't seem like the sort of thing Nintendo would do, but hey, a man can dream.
