Crytek: 8GB RAM Can Be Easily Filled Up, Will Surely Be Limiting Factor on PS4/Xbox One

8gb only gets filled up if the devs are lazy asses that refuse to optimize their games in any shape or form.

No, optimisation is using all the resources effeciantly as possible. So naturally an optimised game will use all available RAM. Leaving unused RAM would mean it's unoptimised as it's leaving resources unused. Developers can alwayse use more of everything, you can never have too much there will alwayse be ways of using it.

That's one massive game where you're using that much RAM. I can assure you, most devs don't have the budget to make such power-hungry games. For example, if I were playing LittleBigPlanet on my PS4, what is gonna use up 8gb of RAM, unless they just fill it up with random garbage? Games that require such heavy use of RAM even after optimizing are far off for now, I assure you.
