It doesnt need extra RAM. PS3 already has games that blow MK 8 out of the water, both exclusives and multiplatforms. MK8 is a cartooney linear racer after all. There are PS3 games from 2007 that even look comparable like this (GT5P and Ratchet and Clank TOD)

So you think Mario Kart 8 never uses more than 50% of Wii U's RAM? LOL.

Didnt say that. I said PS3 produces waaay more graphically impressive games with half as much RAM, and it did so years ago. 

In order to be doable on PS3, a game has to use less than half of Wii U's RAM, not to mention never touch Wii U's superior DX10-11 equivalent GPU features.

So do you think MK8 could be done on PS3 or not? If yes, you're conceding it doesn't come close to using Wii U's full power.

Well, to be blunt, claiming either is pretty silly, we have no idea how much Ram Mario Kart 8 actually uses, it could use 256Mb for all we know or it could use 1024Mb, just because a console has 512mb, 1024Mb or 8Gb, doesn't actually mean that the game is forced to utilise the entire pool.

On a technical level I wouldn't be surprised if the game could run on a Playstation 3, you would have to make a few concessions in the image quality department though, but from a technical perspective it's actually not that impressive. (Especially from a PC gamers point of view.)
