Who the hell cares if it were Sony or MS fans?
The fact remains that MS got a pretty bad response after they were honest and tell everyone that 5GB are for gaming.

Sony is doing the same now and their "light OS" is actually heavier than Windows. Sony will use 3.5 GB for multimedia stuff as well.
They just refused to talk about this.

 

My prediction that the technical gap between both consoles will be smaller than ever is coming true.

Were they honest and telling everyone?  All I've found is that "In a long interview today Marc Whitten of Microsoft confirmed how much of the Xbox One’s 8GB RAM will be taken up by the OS and games. He did this indirectly by not denying past rumors of the RAM being broken down this way. He was directly asked if 3GB RAM was used for the OS and he shyed away from answering, hinting that it may be true."  which isn't really the same as coming out and saying "Yes that rumor is true it's 3GB for the OS."

As far as I know no company has ever come out and specifically stated the RAM allocation for a system, they've simply said no comment and haven't denied rumors which people then take to mean that the rumor is true.
