Xbox One vs PS4: ESRAM slower than GDDR5, It's Bottleneck"

Ok, people, calm down for a while.
Pretty much everything that was written in the past three or so posts is dead wrong. The situation is a lot more complex than what your posts seem to imply but it would take a very lengthy and technical post to clear up the mess we are currently steering into. (And the same errors would pop up again in one or two weeks in another thread...)

Then you need to elaborate.
No point claiming someone is "wrong" and not even bothering to back up such claims, you just wasted my time with reading that for no gain or benefit to any parties involved.

If MS did actually think about delaying Xb one in order to put in GDDR5 ..

That never happened. Once they decided on the memory system (which likely was the second decision after the cpu decision), there was absolutely no way of changing the path. This is so fundamental in the whole process that if they changed that, they'd have to go back to blank sheets of paper.

No they wouldn't.
It would literally be as simple as swapping out the DDR3 with GDDR5 memory chips, Kaveri/Jaguar has dual-memory controllers which supports both memory technologies.
They might need to revise the PCB at most.

However, the benefit would potentially be minimal, you can have all the bandwidth in the world, but it means squat if the compute hardware is already fully saturated, which the Xbox One has less of.
