Due to the ongoing AI development boom showing no signs of slowing down in the short term, the memory shortage may continue to be a industry bottleneck.

In the past, game console manufacturers could usually gain market share by subsidizing hardware costs, but as the cost of acquiring memory has significantly increased, the next-generation consoles, which already had higher expected retail prices than their predecessors, may see future pricing become unacceptable.
Game console manufacturers hope that memory manufacturers can expand infrastructure and increase capacity during this period, thereby bringing prices back to a reasonable range. However, regardless of the final decision, the game hardware market is likely to face a trend of rising prices in the coming years.
