PC's have System Ram+Video Ram. So even if you have 6Gb of ram, you probably have closer to 7-8Gb of total memory. :P
6Gb of Ram though implies someone is running an X58 platform with Triple channel DDR3.
Either that or an Asymmetric DDR3 set-up, but that's not optimal either.
Plus, do keep in mind the next generation consoles have something like 25-33% of it's Ram in use by the OS (Which ironically is more than my Windows 7 Install uses), so games don't get to use all that memory.
