Consoles are the baseline for multiplats; if they'd launched with 4GB, that would have been enough too, because games would be designed around that.

I think it's more about the fact that there's not going to be as serious of issues as there was last gen.  

From what was said, PS3 wasn't able to run crossgame chat due to RAM.  Had some extra difficulties with Skyrim, I believe that was also in part due to the separated nature and small amount of the RAM.  

So just because it's the baseline, doesn't mean it'd work.  

PS3/360 were still able to "last the generation" though, even with their small RAM, because the games were tailored to work within their memory limitations. The same will be true of this gen; if PS4 and Xbone had launched with 4GB, the games would have been made to accomodate that as the baseline.
