Rumors say that Sony prepared well for this, and bought a years worth or more of ram, when prices were low.
So most of 2026 should be "safe" from this ram allocation, price stuff.
The thing is what will happen in 2027 and forwards ?
Prices will go up. For everybody..... PS5 and NSW2, and Xbox's.
Now these big companies, can usually benefit from volume of production.
Like big orders, even on slimmer margins are nice and easy.... and thus something they can get more readily than consumers and the avg joe.
This is were xbox will get doubly screwed, since they don't manufacture as many units. While Sony and Nintendo, might get slightly better ram prices.
However, they likely won't get ram at better or same prices they have been getting them, earlier on.
I fear what effect this will have on the PS6 and new Xbox.
Which are already likely not to be "cheap" for console standards.
Xbox was rumored to be going super premium, high end, curated experiances..... that thing is gonna be expensive.
*edit:
Maybe sony and xbox, should put off launching a new console, if its going to be too expensive tbh.
Let Developers rain in their games a few years more. Just ride out this thing, until markets readjust or the AI bubble bursts.
