MS itself confirmed.
"It has been rumored for months now that the OS for the new Xbox would use 3GB RAM and Whitten confirmed in this interview that it will require “around” 3GB. So it could be a bit more, could be a little bit less. This leaves about 5GB RAM for game developers."

There are a link to the Game Informe video interview.

that article says "A lot of people have been questioning whether Marc Whitten not outright denying things like 5GB RAM is really “confirming” indirectly"
lol ironically in microsoft world all rumors are true. the sad part about that people can make stuff up and the internet will just run with it as fact these days

The article goes on to suggest it has been confirmed by developers.
Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if it is true. Microsoft wanted a multimedia device so they've likely reserved a big chunk of RAM for OS, apps and multimedia. I expect that footprint to reduce and developers given more RAM to work with as the generation proceeds due to MS optimising the multimedia features.
