One thing is for sure, if both Sony and M use GDDR5 on their next gen systems, it is going to drive the market price of GDDR5 down in the longer run. Might see a slight spike in the short term as all allocation goes to those two!

Eh, you do know that GDDR5 is currently used by a huge number of graphics card and that Sony and MS will not order hundreds of million of these chips?

hm.. depends

afaik the PS4 needs 16 x 521MB GDDR5 chips, so if they want to produce more than 6(.25) million PS4s they need more than 100million of the chips

 

hundreds! :) yes but in relation to graphic cards this would only add a little bit. the memory-price will most likely get lower if more graphic cards get sold and I think this will happen as pcs will have to have better specs to run the new games. it will most likely always be "special" memory.
