Devkits are not the same as retail consoles. They usually have more ram among other things. No chance the next consoles will have 24 gig ram.

Pretty much, 24GB is overkill anyway, any game pushing those kinds of assets will require much more overall oomph than a 500$ mainstream device can pull off any time soon.

I don't think so. On PC video cards with 8 GB can already be a limiting factor at full HD. Those new consoles will want to push 4K textures and we're talking about shared memory here. So I think 24 GB is the minimum for a console to be somewhat relevant in the next 6 years or so. 32 GB would be better. Anything below that will be a serious bottleneck in the future. Not today and not tomorrow, but soon enough.
