I'm sure you bought that 16 GB (or probably built your own computer).  I was talking about the average PC coming with 6-8GB.  My PC came with 8 and is upgradeable to 16.  I'm thinking 16-32 GB range is more reasonable than 64+.  Right now I'm seeing 16GB costing around $120-150.  Sure prices drop over time but it seems that anything past 32GB is just overkill for the next generation.


Average PCs don't come with an AMD 7870 GPU, it's not a very good baseline. 16 GB would be only double. Right now, we have the Titan Z coming with 8 GB of video memory. PS5 will have to up his game. Besides that, remember that consoles usually come with unified memory, so it has to be more than a PC that have its RAM and GPU memory. A good gaming PC today will have 8-16 GB of RAM plus at least 2 GB in the GPU, while dedicated rigs will be way above. Besides that, RAM rarely is an overkill, more is better in that case.
