Both consoles have raw CPU power and Graphics intesive chips to compensate for the less Ram. Ram is usually for the OS and caching game data. Reason Why pc games require so much is because it accounts for all the background processes an average pc would have. Like aim, task manager, the taskbar, background updates, spyware. Its alot that chews up RAM and CPU when their added up. For example, it is recommended for WoW to have a Gigabyte, but when i run it, it takes up half a Gigabyte, when i check. Consoles=Games pc = Games and everything else
