PlayStation Vita May Have Had Its RAM Cut In Half, But That Didn't Stop The E3 Demos From Looking Amazing.

Rumours swirled before E3 suggesting that Sony had lowered the Vita's on-board RAM in order to find a more competitive price-point.

But while Novarama's Dani Sánchez-Crespo seemed to corroborate the rumour, he didn't think it would harm development at all.

"No that won’t affect us. It’s actually good for developers to work under constraint. Generally for Vita, we still have a whole lot of headroom in terms of GPU power, CPU power and indeed RAM”.

“Remember the PSP had 32MB of RAM, we have about ten times that now,” he said.

Fair point. Original versions of the PlayStation Vita were said to have 512MB of RAM, with the retail version slashed to around 256MB. It's worth pointing out that the PlayStation 3 has a similar 256MB of RAM.
