Rumor: Xbox Consoles Could See Yet Another Price Hike Soon

Starting in the latter part of 2025, the cost of DRAM memory has sharply increased, making it difficult for consumers to afford the RAM they need. This is largely due to high demand from companies like OpenAI that build artificial intelligence systems. These companies are getting priority access to the available supply, causing manufacturers to focus on building RAM for AI servers instead of consumer products. Because of this, the price of DDR5 memory kits for desktop computers has more than doubled since the fall. While there have been some discounts on other computer parts, there’s no indication that RAM prices – for either DDR4 or DDR5 – will come down anytime soon.
