5GB GDDR 3 Ram Vs. 8GB GDDR5 Ram..
yes in the long run you will see a difference.

PS4 OS is rumoured to take 1GB, so it'll be 7GB for games....personally I see the PS4 OS taking 2GB ram, then over time Sony can releasing ram just like they've done with the PS3.

I wonder if this will make the slightest difference to the consumer but to the developer. The added memory means developers can use less compressed textures, which makes developing more a matter of "mash compile."

Honestly, I don't think we'll be comparing "graphics" this generation as opposed to a developer's chosen art-style. Our eyes probably can't discern any significant difference between "systems." Even with the Wii U, when people are posting screenshots my eye sees style, not a polygon count. I can see how power was still relevent(ish) during the PS3/360 generation, but that was basically because of the overusage of the Unreal 3 engine...which I still think is kinda ugly.

This time? I am much more worried about launch XB1's having RROD issues again than any late-life "weak by comparison" problems.
