Jonathan Blow has heard the Wii U 'has a lot more RAM'

Braid creator Jonathan Blow is making the rounds to discuss his upcoming game The Witness, but it sounds like current-gen consoles can't handle the game. What about the Wii U, you ask?

For this type of game, I do wish the new generation of consoles had come out by now. Even if it only meant slightly faster graphics processor and a lot more RAM. Because having more memory would make a huge difference to being able to bring a game like this to a console. It makes it much easier. When you look at the Wii U, I'm told it has a lot more RAM - that would be wonderful, although I'm unsure about that platform for other reasons, especially in light of the iPad. If that console succeeds, it would be a nicer place to bring the game than the 360, if only because it has more RAM. - Jonathan Blow

Not only do we have a chance at The Witness coming to Wii U, now we're hearing more rumors about larger amounts of RAM. This is something a lot of game developers ask for, and it seems that Nintendo may be providing it.
