Not every game is Crysis for sure, but for instance, a lot of AAA games right now require 8 GB of memory minimum. The $400 Surface Go 2 that came yesterday has only 4 GB of memory in the base config, and such specs aren't isn't particularly uncommon. Not that you'd be playing AAA games on that machine even if it had more memory, but hence my point.

Neither the Xbone or the PS4 offer 8GB of ram to the game (system reserves), and yet almost every AAA game launches on those platforms.
They likely couldn't run Slack or the NYT tho. Just think about how slow the PS4 store loads (it's html5) or the whole xbone ui.
Games are actually optimized for speed. NYT is optimized on a different key performance indicator.
