I wouldn't say the technological race is the main problem, it's the AI ghouls gobbling up allthe world's RAM and driving memory prices through the roof, reckless wars, idiotic tariffs, and rampant inflation.

It’s the tech race: If a base PS5/XBXSX was still selling for the price of Switch 1 (a price which Nitendo can charge due to the low spec demands of the system), then we’d be looking at a very different situation right now.

Nah man.  It is AI.  Companies are buying literally tens of thousands of gpus and ram dimms.  And hundreds of companies are doing this.  I have seen it first hand.

"Nvidia’s AI (Data Center) revenue vastly outpaces its gaming division, accounting for over 90% of the company’s total sales. Recent full-year earnings reports show Nvidia generating around $194 billion from Data Center/AI chips, while Gaming hardware yields roughly $11 billion to $12 billion annually. [1, 2, 3]"
