  Atari 2600 had 128 bytes of RAM, even the KIM-1 onboard 6502 had a eight times that - a full 1K--the Apple I had 4K of RAM. NES had 2K of work RAM + 2K of video RAM, compare to the C64 at the time that had a full 64K, or the newer 16-bit computers at the time like Amiga, Atari ST, etc. that were 128K, 256K or more. SNES had 128K of work RAM + 64K of sound RAM. In 1991 I think typical computer memories were starting to get in the 2-4MB range. Playstation 1 had 2MB of RAM and 1MB of video RAM. By 1995 you were firmly in the 8MB range or higher for PCs. Playstation 2 had 32MB of RAM. My PC at that time had 256MB of RAM and that was somewhat low. So the trend of consoles having far less RAM than PCs is well established.
