Not to mention the costs of DDR3 RAM is already low to begin with. It'll get worse when DDR4 RAM comes out because when new RAM technology gets released, the old version actually gets more expensive.

Yes, it's another big factor. DDR4 is already out and will become the mainstream norm during the consoles' lifecycle. And GGR5? We don't even have specs for a sucessor.

HBM is its likely successor and it will be on the 390X and 380X in 2015.  However it won't completely replace it at all levels like DDR4 will to DDR3.
