How many games will take advantage of the 7 gigabytes of ram when most of the launch titles used 4 gb (less because of the OS)
All so, this is only a rumor. Maybe only 4 Gb is usable. maybe the wii u's gpu or cpu or something else is more powerful than whatever the ps4 has.


Wii U's GPU or CPU is confirmed to be nowhere as near as fast as the PS4's, neither are the rest of the components. 4GB for VRAM usable or 4GB for games in general? Cause no way in hell the PS4's OS is gonna use 4GB of RAM, not even windows uses that much. It'll use 1GB or less, easily, with the 7GB set aside for games which includes VRAM and so forth. 

 

Wii U will have a tough time keeping up in my opinion.


I agree that the Wii U will have a tough time catching up, but games like the Witcher 2 and skyrim were running around 3-4GB of RAM on PC if you wanted to run them properly. Third party devs demanded 8GB from Sony and got it so you can bet your bottom dollar that they will squeeze every last drop out of this gens tech.
