I'm not THAT worried about RAM. My phone has one gig of RAM and runs Android 7.0 fairly smoothly with some noticeable (but not Wii U noticeable) slowdown in multitasking. The thing is, will Nintendo be SMART about this lack of RAM? The reason why the Wii U felt slow and featureless was because the damn OS was cumbersome. There was no flow to using the Wii U at all. Prime example is having a damn Friends list but being forced to go into the Miiverse to message a friend and then NOT having any decent notification system for instant messaging. It was just plain stupid. Nintendo will have to learn to rely on cloud technologies, make parts of their features glorified websites with proper notifications back to the user. Google Chrome on Android proves that this is more than feasible. In short "Web app the shit outta that console". If done right, nobody will notice a thing. The illusion is getting your web apps to look as if they are a part of the OS. That shouldn't be hard to do. The OS should really need no more than 512 MB - 1GB of RAM leaving 3 or 3.5 GB for gaming. This thing wont be running Windows so that should be easy to accomplish.
