Yeah, it's looking like COVID GPU pricing part 2.

What's funny is everybody going off on the projected Steam Machine pricing. At the rate everything might be going a $699 Steam Machine might look like a steal in early 2026. I'm "looking forward" to seeing the next Xbox increase. Sony looks to have hoarded enough to keep PS5 pricing stable.

Does Sony sit on a years worth of stock, do we know?

Its great that they're currently blitzing through the stock they put into retailers at a super low black Friday price but it is going to be interesting to see how they weather this.

The ps5 might have to go up by 100 to 200 dollars on its MSRP minimum and that's just right now. If it continues to get worse....

Average big publisher:

Reality as I said will force them. Or they will follow Ubisoft

 

[negator2vc]

They'll just tell you to turn the settings down.

At first they could do that BUT if this continue a few more years or even a decade they will be forced to change their tune.

This deal is getting worse all the time
Surely these global shortages can't continue? First Crypto, then Covid, now AI, what next...

Death of course.

When there will be not enough memory, I wonder if storage prices will go bananas.

Also my 128 GB RAM + 5090 earlier this year was a good decision.

With memory shortage I wonder if game optimizations will make a comeback?

If ps5 is going up by that much steam machine is going up aswell possibly even higher. Valve will want a profit on there machine, whilst Sony will still subsidise.

I am also Sony Corp's number 1 fan.

Well, yeah. Everythings going up. I cant see how it wont. Unless you are sat on like 12 months of stock minimum. And then why wouldnt you put the prices up and make more profit?
