With 8GB, MSony have more than enough for the generation.
WiiU is the only one who is likely going to feel the hurt due to RAM. However, any change like that would just limit the possible game sales as it would be tied to a segmented userbase. So, not a good idea.
Realistically, Nintendo should of went with 4GB and not killed the bandwidth. Still would have kept costs down and allowed them to be far closer to their competition. Being off by a few GB probably could be overlooked due to compression techniques. But being off by about 6GB is going to hurt them. Especially when you combine that with the bandwidth being a drastic difference.
