HBM2, GDDR5X is already mass-market.

GDDR6 is ramping up and will be mass produced this year if it hasn't already. (Couldn't be bothered to check)
So memory tech shouldn't be a hindrance.

Yes, it is actually. Currently 32GB GDDR6 is not possible without a very expensive 512bit bus.

Of course if you want 16GB or 24GB, it won't be a problem, but even 24GB isn't enough IMO. The best would be 32GB games + 4 or 8GB OS: 36GB or 40GB in total.

Most PC's today are 8-16 GB right? and most users dont need more.

Why would a console need 32GB at this point? that would just needlessly drive up prices wouldnt it?

I think 24 GB for next gen should be more than enough.
