Zwrq 16 GB would be so much better...


Current gen had 512 MB, this generation has 16 times that. There's no need for anymore, you can game perfectly fine on a computer with 8 gigs of ram and that includes running lot more intensive OS, the 8 gigabytes is more than enough if you ask me


yet a computer with 16 GB can run everything even cleaner and smoother, I want the best possible, not the cheapest.



Having 16gb of RAM is almost pointless. No standard user will use all 16GB. The first couple years of the PS4 being released, if it has 8GB of RAM it won't even use it all, it won't be till the games improve vastly they then might start making a dent.

I suppose you could argue that having 16GB of RAM would future proof the console but by the time the games even get close to using that much RAM all the other hardware will be outdated.
