Spanish is my native language and from reading his tweets I assume it'll be some Digital Foundry tech analysis not talking very good about the PS4 RAM. I quote one of his tweets: "Both consoles will be fine, but initially one looked much more powerful than the other and the advantage is slowly disolving."

Which is no problem at all. Even if PS4 is not as powerful as stated (not spec-wise but regarding the performance of the whole system) it is still a very good console, as Xbone is. Both are very good upgrades to their predecessors and graphics will see a big leap.

The only thing I fear is that the new consoles will be much earlier graphically underpowered compared to mid-high end PC's (a PC everybody can afford). This gen the consoles will be very much like a PC and what in the past could has been tweaked with costume hardware will be much less this time.

 

I think this time consoles will reach their limit way faster, too. Like it happened to the first Xbox. Devs are used to the architecture and systems. Devs had a "lucky" time over the past generations because the tech was always new to everyone and so all started by zero and could learn the system to squeeze more performance out of it. Now you have well-known uncomplicated tech that just works and there is plenty of documentation available.

But comparing to PC is useless to me. These are two different worlds, in my opinion. They share a lot of games but in general they target different audiences.
