No.

If any console manufacturer wanted to do a memory upgrade (Nintendo), the RAM pack expansion for the N64 shows it simply resulted in a split in the installed user base. Nintendo resorted to packing the RAM pack with one or two of the only games that actually required the additional memory after the upgrade was released.

The easier solution is to do a hardware refresh; no upgrade options for older models. Then you're left with a New 3DS and either another split in the installed user base, or a hardware upgrade that the vast majority of developers aren't going to utilize because they want their game playable on the entire installed user base.

That would be awesome

Really? First off, no it won't make the consoles faster. 8GB is plenty for what the consoles can do and they type of memory is fast enough. Second, please don't ever compare DDR4 and GDDR5 again.

If you want to improve performance, put a proper GPU in there instead of the APU crap.

yes

Good Luck upgrading gddr5 though

games that really needed the expansion pack came with the expansion pack. dont make stuff up dude..

Yes, with official hardware that didn't exchange the existing hardware but extended it.

If people can upgrade their ram theirself devs don't know what to expect in terms of size and speed, not to speak of that it is impossible as you also need a new controller.

Umm.. Why?

this gen ram isn't even an issue

the consoles actually lack in cpu and gpu power to fully utilize the ram they come with - last gen PS3 had a vram issue, but it seems everybody learned from that

Nope. If i wanted to game on a PC, i'd do so, but i don't.
