so 8GB of ram..... and a faster Disc drive.... so why a 50GB install per game?

Why are you so bothered it installs as you play, so even with larger installs youll be in and playing in under a minute in most cases, rather than the 20+ minutes of the smaller installs of last gen. 

The size increase is mostly due to more detailed textures, to fill up that that ram and 1080p framebuffer, it really is a none issue, if youve got crap internet buy box product. 

Wut.

The consoles framebuffer is in the Ram, it also doesn't have a set resolution.
Thus, one in the same.

Look, Ram got 16 times bigger ( 10-14 times for the crucial vram), while the BR drive is only 3x faster than the one in the PS3 and even back then not everything could be streamed from the disc into ram.

If the Playstation would use all it's Ram for games, that would be true. You're probably looking at only a 10x increase in total, give or take.
