You guys are so boring. There is no such thing as overkill from a computer hardware perspective. Give the devs the resources and they will find new and interesting ways to use it.
I don't think Nintendo, Sony or MS are interested in releasing consoles that they can't profit off next time around. I think Nintendo will release a system with 2 GB if it's in the current rumored timeframe of being shown off at E3. Here's hoping for a GPU with 640 to 800 SPs! GDDR5 can't be that expensive, and on parts of Juniper or RV740 caliber, 1 GB definitely would be workable, but having another 1 GB, either as system RAM or with the other gig as unified pool would be the best solution. A run down of GDDR5 costs vs XDR vs XDR2 would be interesting, though I imagine XDR and XDR2 are very expensive.
