> PS5 has something like 16GB unified RAM, and no game is going to really push much beyond that in VRAM use
That's pretty funny considering that PC games are moving more towards 32GB RAM and 8GB+ VRAM. The next generation of consoles will of course increase to make room for higher quality assets.
Sure, but not always. Future games will have more detailed assets which will require more memory. Running at 4K or higher resolution will be more common which also requires more memory.
