Building on January's PC gaming hardware price increases, Sony is considering delaying the PlayStation 6 to 2028 or 2029 amid ongoing AI-fueled RAM shortages. Nintendo may raise Switch 2 prices later this year due to the same pressures, as tech giants hoard memory for data centers.
Following its February announcement of delays, Valve made a public plea for RAM suppliers at the 2026 Game Developers Conference, highlighting persistent global shortages impacting Steam Machine production and other devices. A spokesperson directly asked attendees for leads on purchases amid the crisis dubbed 'RAMaggedon.'
