We've known this for months too :D

The RAM difference is pretty huge between PS4 and Xbox One.

PS4 = 7GB Fast GDDR5 RAM for games.
Xbox One = 5GB Slow DDR3 RAM for games.

It's a big difference and it will affect the games. Xbox One will be the limiting factor for next-gen 3rd party titles. It's obvious that the entertainment focus of Microsoft had a huge effect on the design of the console. Both on the specs and the apperance of the console itself. Seriously, it looks like a DVR or set-top box.


You're comparing GDDR to DDR....

GDDR is for the graphics card and DDR is for the RAM

Yah, another of the great VGKing post :) Clueless hehe
The number of OS is not really what matter. An OS is a set of functionality to do a lot of different stuff; having 3 different OS does not equal the need for more memory... And "OS", for instance the one to swtich between game and TV is nothing but a small process running...

OP: Do we know for sure how many RAM will thePS4  OS use (with the video recording feature and all that); I tend to believe something like 2GB to 3GB both will certainly consume approximatly the same amount of memory.
