I'm sure 8 GB will be fine. Both the One and PS4 have about the same amount of usable RAM, so I wonder if there would have even be an improvement with extra RAM in the ONE, seeing as how devs often code to the lowest denominator and port to the others.
In that case, tell him you want a solid state drive. Hopefully you get a 500GB one.... LOL
Well, 12 GB of RAM could have helped in making up for slower RAM in the One.
Hardly, I think. I have 8GB of RAM on my PC and even multitasking several games on at once and a whole bunch of other stuff, I've never probably gone over 6,5gb RAM used even if I sort of tried. While it's good to have it around for some bizarre multitasking, but it doesn't really help making up for RAM speed On another note when it comes to that RAM speeds.. I'm pretty sure there is a reason why even the most expensive PC gaming rigs do not use GDDR5 for general purpose RAM, but it's gonna be interesting to see how Sony's decision plays out.
Naturally 12gb wouldn't have hurted and seeing how X1 will likely have a pretty nice selection of apps and in the future we might see some pretty impressive apps, it could've helped with the multitasking and having ****loads of stuff open in the background without having to worry.
I've got 32 GB or RAM on my PC.
The XBOX ONE must exceed this or I'm going to be angry. :devil:
... and how much of it do you even use on daily basis?

Its highly unlikely it would need that much. The Xbox one is using GDDR5 memory. It supports far higher transfer rates than standard pc ddr3 memory.
Remember the 360? It only had 512mb of ram. Yet it was GDDR3 memory that sat right next to (really almost on top of) the processor. Not to mention Microsoft worked their electrical magic on it and made its transfer rates ridiculously fast. I believe on team executers forum it said that the 360's ram could theoretically support transfer rates of 129gb per second. Evidenced by the fact that it can smoothly play games like Skyrim, and Call of Duty.
If they do the same thing with the Xbox One, there won't be a need for anything greater than 8gb. Now let's just hope they don't make the same engineering mistakes they made in the og xbox, and og 360.
