Yeah because having 128GB of ram  gives you 0 extra FPS compared to 8GB of ram in a normal budget PC.

16GB is already considered overkill for gaming purposes. We won't go past 16GB for the next 5-10 years. 8GB has been the sweetspot for like +5 years now.

Give it time, RAM requirements will sky rocket soon. As SSD prices fall larger files will start to become more prevalent. You have to have super fast storage in tandem with that amount of RAM, and once the market hss a high enough concentration of super fast storage, you will see this take effect.

8GB is on the very low end at this point. 16GB is pretty much a necessity if you want 4K and multi-tasking. 32GB would be overkill, but it would not be a generational leap. That is why we are seeing these moves from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. There is tech that is worth upgrading to, but it is not enough to move from one platform to another. Thus these spec 2 and possibly spec 3 and 4 platforms will happen.

If the "mainstream-pc" with a GTX 970 or R9 390 is already 200-250% more powerful then the PS4 then how will it survive until 2024?
