Yeah sorry my bad

I meant 1 - 2 reserved for the OS.

oh I thought you were a troll haha.  Yeah that's what I'm thinking.

Bummer.

So only 5GB for Xbos One games but 7GB available to PS4 games?

You sure you understood those charts and articles correctly and there wasn't a misunderstanding?

it's confirmed by game informer

That's a decent jump from current gen. The type of memory is confirmed to be DDR3? What bandwidth is it? Any ESRAM?

What are the estimates for PS4 1-2Gbs? so 6Gb of GDDR5 for games left.

Sorry for all the questions :P

But the PS4 can handle multitasking, uploading, streaming and it uses 1-2....mmm looks like GDDR5 is nice to have :D

because the PS4 isn't running on three operating systems

We've known this for months too :D

The RAM difference is pretty huge between PS4 and Xbox One.

PS4 = 7GB Fast GDDR5 RAM for games.
Xbox One = 5GB Slow DDR3 RAM for games.

It's a big difference and it will affect the games. Xbox One will be the limiting factor for next-gen 3rd party titles. It's obvious that the entertainment focus of Microsoft had a huge effect on the design of the console. Both on the specs and the apperance of the console itself. Seriously, it looks like a DVR or set-top box.

That'll be plenty for the next several years, but very intelligent people have said the same about 64MB of RAM.

It's a great achievement on Microsofts part but makes you wonder if this will be another Windows 8 type situation.
