"I wouldn't be surprised if they push more than 2GB as people want new features... Like Voice Chat, Video Streaming, Themes, Social/Party aspects, Apps like Web Browsers and even other services, which Microsoft is pushing heavily front and center.

If Nintendo wants to bring it's console into the current generation, then it's going to need more Ram for that."

Considering the philosophy the adhered during this generation for the Switch and the current way the OS functions. Likely moreso the next OS won't support many changes to it's ecosystem. 

I really don't see them bloating the overall experience with Apps or a web browser for a machine, they essentially want you to game with. 

Maybe themes/music or an integrated voice chat would be possible ? They did discover the console does have a microphone built-in so it would be likely. 

But I don't see them derailing much from the core gaming experience.

I don't see Nintendo using more than 2 gb for the OS.  I think it is a safe assumption that the S2 will have 10 gb of ram, which should allow for some medium settings on third party games.  I also expect, as a result of low memory bandwidth, the S2 for third party is going to be 30 fps all day long.  To the degree that matters is a personal opinion.
