You must have no clue how much ram costs. I personally bought 16gb ram for $96. Adding 4gb to the console might add $10 to the cost if even that. They would not raise the price of the Xbox One.

Never mind the fact that surel y the XB1 is right now in the manufacturing phase NAD even if they could do it they'd have to offload the current supply of RAM they are using (they contracted for that stuff on volume so they can't just exchange it) and rebuy the higher capacity RAM. You are talking as if they just go down to their local retailer and exchange the old modules for the new ones then slap it in liek its a PC.

The length of time it would take to order and receive the amount fo RAM modules needed to go bigger would be weeks at best maybe a month or two for it to fully start coming in (suppliers need time to produce and move that stuff) then changing the specifications at the manufacturing plant(s) so ALL the workers put it in correctly and are all on the same page.... the actual cost would be much higher than $10 a unit. Not to mention the fact that it would most certainly delay the lanch window or lead to huge shortages at launch.

 

It's a bad idea at this point I don't see it happening especially for the minimal gain it would yield.. it'd still be behind in the specs department.
