| thismeintiel said: If I'm understanding the first part correctly, the reason they can only use 5GB is because the dev kits only use 8GBs (most likely due to costs), part of which is used for debugging. So, once Sony gets out dev kits with more RAM (when prices lower), they should be able to use more. Could just be misunderstanding that, though.  |
Absolutly not. RAM allowed for game is dependent on how much is reserved for system and future uses, it has nothing to do with devkit. PS4 devkit already has more than 8GB memory for debugging.
There is a chance that Sony will optimise OS to use less memory, so games could use more. That was the case with PS3, when initially there was much less ram, but sony increased that amount by optimalisation.
