Future proof, maybe. They have 8GB of RAM, but 3GB of that is going to be reserved for the OS, so developers are left with 5GB of RAM to work with. That's plenty for now, but a few extra GBs might add a little insurance to make sure the RAM isn't eventually a bottleneck, like it was for the 360 and the PS3.

Like I said, it doesn't really matter in the end. Games on both consoles are going to look virtually the same, and PS4 exclusives will look a tad bit better. Optimizing the GPU and adding more RAM isn't going to change that. It's going to be a carbon copy rehash of this gen.
