Either this device gets delayed or it is DOA. Couldn’t have chosen a worse time to enter the hardware industry.

On a side note: Hopefully these shortages won’t have an impact on PS5/NS2 pricing? I’ve heard rumblings that Microsoft will be dropping another price hike on XBSXS in response to the recent chip shortage.

Think of any kind of device that uses RAM and assume that it will be affected down the road.

Off the top of my head: Cars, Laptops, Smartphones, Smart TVs, Game Consoles, medical equipment, anything that requires memory is going to be affected either directly or indirectly.

It was bad enough that 2 of the big 3 RAM manufacturers were dedicating a substantial amount of resources to these AI data centers, that up to 40% of the world's supply of RAM will be going to them. Now that the final of the big 3 is COMPLETELY removing itself from consumer products, they were also big on SSD manufacturing, that's going to make things even worse.
