yea i saw that  but like what type of ram wasn't mentioned as the reveal said 8gb.  or whether it takes 3gb for the OS. its important as they both are considered ram and when the 360 had it , it provided the added advantage over the ps3. Still its not official till ms confirms all the specs details as the sites vary the info. anyways 360 was less powerful then ps3 but ended up doing better then ps3 in graaphics and performance lol.

Those "missing" details (like type of ram) are confirmed by pictures of the inside of XOne. It is known.

360 had many areas that looked better than PS3 early on (definitely not now) due to

1) the head start EVERY dev had on X360 hardware vs PS3

2) the massive complexity and learning curve PS3 hardware game devs largely due to its CPU

That's all different now as XOne and PS4 share nearly identical hardware design. However, I argued already that they will end up identical as devs will code for the lowest common denominator i.e. the slightly weaker Xone GPU and slower RAM. Then scale down further with the help of modern engines to make sure game works on WiiU as well.
