It's the most amusing method of downplaying I've ever seen.
Too much RAM, now a negative, and "bad for gamers" to boot, who would have thought it?
The mental gymnastics required to come to that conclusion should lead to pulled muscles and torn ligaments
I think the idea is that if it ends up being 8GB GDDR5 (~1.8Tflps) vs 8GB DDR3+eSRAM (~1.4Tflps), most all multiplatform games are going to be designed for the lower common denominator.. leaving only 1st party Sony titles specifically designed for the PS4 to take advantage of the bandwidth. It still gives Sony that 1st party edge, however.. GDDR5 is not cheap, at all. DDR3 is extremely cheap.
People are assuming if this is the end scenario one of two things is going to have to happen.
1. Sony prices the console comparatively to Durango, takes a big loss. Note : Sony cannot afford to take losses in 2013.
2. PS4 is going to cost more for users, and users end up paying more for a console of which the vast majority games will not take advantage of the added memory bandwidth.
In the end, someone is paying more so that a few games can load more objects on the screen, and a bit faster.
