If you read interviews and/or talk to people in the industry, they would tell you that more RAM expands the possibilities for many of the games. Even for AAA titles like Battlefield 3, the difference in 64 players in a pc to 24 players on consoles according to the developers, was mostly because of the lack of memory. 1GB is huge for a game console. Just for comparison the PlayStation 3 has 256 MB of XDR DRAM main memory and 256 MB of GDDR3 video memory for the RSX.
