Sony Comments on Ongoing RAM Shortage and Potential PS5 Impact

Starting in late 2025, the cost of memory (RAM) started to increase sharply because manufacturers were prioritizing production for AI data centers over other areas, creating a limited supply. The situation has gotten worse since then, with some companies stopping sales of RAM for everyday consumers, and others like Valve postponing new product releases to evaluate the effects. There’s been concern that the PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox might be delayed if the shortage continues, but Sony has recently offered some positive news, suggesting a possible path forward.
