I think by the end of this gen the people that are saying this GPU/CPU set up is incapable of pushing 6 or 7GB of data will be very surprised. I have little doubt that studios like Naught Dog, 343i, Santa Monica, and Epic will find ways to push these chips to utilize every bit of RAM available.
With that said, the difference between a game using 6GB of data on screen at once, and a game with 4GB of data on screen with 2GB used as a buffer for a seamless open world will not be a whole lot.
As always it comes down to that same thing it has always come down to. What do the publishers want, and what do the developers want to make. Every generation has had the capability to either push new ways to play or open worlds or better graphics. Extra RAM just means they have a bigger canvas to express their vision.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
