You could at least try. 13gb is 2.6x 5gb. Gddr6 is like 2x more efficient than gddr5. So roughly a 5x increase. The rest stands: AMOUNT OF RAM MEMORY reached diminishing returns and will no longer increase exponentially.

Just look at the numbers. The 512mb the ps360 had 15 years ago was a lot. 5 years later top pcs were using like 4gb, moving on to 8. Now, a whooping 10 years later, we are still at 16-24gb. A much smaller increase.

How much is 4.5 + 1 ?

What does gddr6 is like 2x more efficient mean ? You can store twice as many bytes in 1 GB of gddr6 as opposed to 1 GB of gddr5?
Whatever you're trying to imply, every new gen had more efficient memory.

The 512mb was too little back then as well, remember skyrim on ps3...

16GB GDDR6 plus 8GB DDR4 would have been better and more future proof. Memory will be a bottleneck again, like always, but maybe even more now when the increase in resolution is the biggest between gens yet. 480p -> 720p -> 1080p -> 2160p At least the plans seem to be native 4K for next gen.

Not helping your case by mentioning a company known for poor early optimization due to using old engines. Devs need to work with what they have and they have more than they need. It's kinda surreal to look at how far we came and still hear complaints about hardware bottlenecks.
