since its too late for them to change their RAM to GDDR5, they might preparing to make a shock news to announce the NextXbox will comes with 16GB RAM will this become more better than PS4 8GB GDDR5...??

Why it is too late for Microsoft? Sony did it at the last minute...

And even if you are one of those who believe Sony kept it secret; then Microsoft could do the same.

Just to clue you in on the facts of life, the largest size gddr5 chip is 512Mb.

Sony is using 16 Ram chips to get to 8Gb.

If Microsoft is using a motherboard that accustoms regular ram 2x4GB or 4x2GB, then they have insufficient slots available to upgrade to gddr5. They would only be able to fit 2GB.

Like I said, they would have to completely redesign the motherboard to accomodate more slots.

Sony simply had 16 slots of 256MB GDDR5, and upgraded to 512MB GDDR5.

That's the difference.

*sigh* No. There is nothing like "slots" on the board... The chips are soldered at the "motherboard". It is far away from a standard motherboard like you perhaps know in PCs. The talking of slots is just wrong.
