| richardhutnik said: The Wii U is said to have 1GB RAM available for games (if not even less). The PS4 is going to have 7 GB (of the 8) available for games. My question is this. How the heck does the Wii U have the techical capabilities to do games that the PS4 has, if the PS4 is going to have 7 times more available RAM? I can understand some current games we have now, in transition, and the likes of fighting games being doable, but what about stuff like open world games, where a lot of the RAM will be used? How does the Wii U be able to keep up with this? |
For the same reason a PC with 6GB of RAM can play the same games with just as much graphical detail as a PC with 32GB of RAM. Most games do not use a ton of RAM. 7GB actually seems like overkill. Even games like BF3 on PC don't use more than 4-6GB of RAM.
