That's exactly why I think both Sony and Microsoft are going for a lot of RAM regardless of whether the rumors are true or not. The biggest limiting factor in the current consoles was the RAM. The 360 has 512MB and I'm pretty sure the PS3 had only 256MB of RAM (don't remember for sure). You could really see that in later games and it was always present with the PS3 and it's horrible slowdown with the in game XMB.

I guess they finally realized that there's no point in taking the risk of the RAM potentially being a bottleneck when they can just load up on as much as they want because of how cheap of a solution it is.
