This didn't come as a total surprise to me I read a story from the front page a few days ago and I can't remember if it was in the headline story or a link in it but it basically was an update on the PS4 and listed pretty much what we knew except it said Sony was rumored to have upped the 4 gig of ram to 8 gig inline with rumored durango ram size , it seems to me Sony wants to be lead platform for multiplats next gen and not have fiasco's like Skyrim.

wtf does that have to do with anything? WiiU ram is unified but its still 1GB for games and 1GB for OS.

360 dev kits have twice the amount  1 gig ram and PS3 I not quite sure early reports talking 2005 dev kits said twice the ram but only  mentioned ram  in relation  to the rx chip 512 versus 256mb since the ram isn't unified they most likely talked about it individualy hence 512 versus 256.

Calm down  I thought you meant like the PS3 , I forgot about your infatuation , still what other shit do you mean if it is all the new uploading downloading that's all handled by it's own chip , they seem to have tried to offload a lot of that stuff so it doesn't impact performance, still their will be OS demands but it certainly won't have a 4gig footprint now or the future it most likely will be handled in the same way as the PS3 except they wont need to shrink the OS footprint to free up resources just efficiency.

lol what is my infatuation?

Your comment made no sense. "Unified" RAM has nothing to do with how they allocate the overall resources.

Yes, there is an extra ARM CPU for this stuff, however, it still uses RAM. It doesn't have a seperate pool of ram so it will be using part of this 8GB.

comparing everything to the WIIU.

I already mentioned i thought what you where talking about was in regard to to the PS3 non unified ram approach when you mentioned splitting the 8 gig  ,after that I asked about what you meant by all that shit and me talking about dl up ld and its own chip and performance was to show it wont be a big drag on the system maybe i should have brought that up seperatly  , still I mentioned the OS demand  and why there is no need to split it.

I could of compared it to neXtBox... its using 8GBs of unified ram and the rumors are that more than 3GBs of that are for the OS. But it hasn't been proven yet so I used the only other current comparison.

The OS demand is going to be massive on RAM. Video content in HD is not small.

You must not have been on CNN or IGN's comment sections last night.

just think how much better these games will look

Kaz did again.... just trolled the world in the Sony conference... EPIC!!!
