2005/2006 they would have probably said the same thing about the 8gb in those,

Not at all. Remember that's 8GB for both CPU and GPU; in 2006, gaming PCs had 2GB or even 4GB of RAM and 1GB of GPU memory. They could reasonably have forecasted that 4-8GB for the CPU and 1-2GB for the GPU would be needed.

Did people really have 4GB ram in their pc's 2006? It definetly wasnt mainstream then, 4GB RAM still makes up 21percent of Steam, its the 2nd most popular ram configuration. I remember buying a pc around that time with 512MB ram and 128MB vram and that it was a lot.

I have a pc from last year with 16GB system ram+2GB vram and sometimes I wish I had more.

No it wasn't. 128 of VRAM was already low back then, considering we had the GeForce 7000's with 512 or even 1024MB of dedicated RAM. Also, gaming PC's of the day had 2048 MB of system RAM. Though you have a point in saying that was not mainstream.

My prediction for the PS4 would be 16GB of shared RAM. 32GB at most.
