This is a slightly skewed way of looking at the talking point.
Yes, people say xbox one is at a disadvantage for not using gddr5.
Yes, xbox one doesn't actually NEED gddr5 because it wouldn't be able to take advantage of the extra speed anyway.

So far the OP addresses that fine.
However, the argument isn't that '1 is at a disadvantage because it's not using gddr5', the argument is that '1 is at a disadvantage because ps4 DOES make use of gddr5, and xbox doesn't'

You're turning an argument of 'which overall console is better' into 'this console has parts relative to its performance'. Not that it's your fault for misinterpreting, but nobody is bragging about the RAM simply because it's faster. They're bragging because the ps4 is OVERALL faster, so fast, that it needs gddr5.
