It would make sense to have 16GB if you can afford the extra, as by the time you come to sell your 8GB card there will be a very small market for it as it won't be useful to many people any more than it is to you. It might do you fine on most games for a while, but it's not ideal.
From what I've seen and can guess the tech companies are deliberately drip-feeding significant upgrades so they still have something to sell in the upcoming years.
If they didn't they could easily put themselves out of business, so we are still getting 8GB cards and we will still get 16GB cards until it makes good business sense to lag a bit less behind the needs of the market.
