As cheap as ram is it would make sense to "future proof" a console as best you can and at least add 2-4 more GBs.



From what I posted in my previous post it seems like Microsoft's extra RAM is going towards Software/Kinect 2.0.

I don't know, if that's true I can't really see 8GB of slower RAM being any more beneficial than 4GB of faster RAM dedicated only to gaming.

In other words the way it looks the PS4 will be engineered to be a pure gaming machine with more power, the 720 will fall in between the PS4 and Wii U in terms of power. It's interesting though because Microsoft are intent on saving a lot of money on memory and GPU from the looks of it and then they allocate a lot of RAM for some sort of software function. I'm thinking maybe it might actually be true that Kinect 2.0 is going to ship with all 720's

Well, if they both only have 4GB shared between the CPU and GPU, which is the rumor and assuming 4GB is going to the Kinect on Xbox, then they both will be obsolete again in 4-5 years while we are stuck with them for 10.
