Understood.

I expect Mark Cerny do a similar job on PS5 and have everything balanced that all parts complement, so if it can't do more is not because of CPU/GPU/RAM alone but all together.

If from your expectation of the system going from 16 to 24 is already a lot and 32 is pointless I see very little reason to doubt.

Oh, don't misunderstand me, though. I certainly expect excellent, beefy machines (for the time)! I also totally understand you guys' excitement (new consoles on the horizon leaves a good feeling for a gamer like very few things). I'm really trying to just help y'all keep expectations in check, because I have a tad of extended knowledge in the field and don't want to see hopes crushed simply because they expected too much. 

So, I think the PS5 will launch with at least 16GB of RAM, a customized and powerful Navi GPU, at least a 2TB HDD, and Zen 2. Y'all will see how that will fair in the hands of devs like Guerilla Games, Naughty Dog, and Santa Monica. Trust me, you'll forget that there isn't 32GB of G6 in the system. ;)

Don't worry, I never understood your post as bath of cold water (or rain on the parade to use the american equivalent).

I know the system you are expecting is quite good and balanced and what is feasible on the budget expected. I was just curious if 32 didn't make sense on technical side as well as monetary. If 16GB isn't a bottleneck for what you think of APU then there would be no need to expect more.

Also it certainly is better to be surprised with better than expected than be let down on excessive expectations. I still remember people thinking Switch would had equivalent PS4 HW but on the go because of a lot of rumors saying it. Switch is good and have hit the mark on price/portability/power (sure could be better on battery or lower on price or any other request that would change the balance to fits person particular wishe, but on package it do fine).
