So I was thinking Sony is a hardware company who creates semi conductors and other micro chip technologies. They have the knowledge and means to start making their own ram and storage if need be. They could even develop a new type of ram like their reram idea they had at one time. They could even make a lot of money and save a lot of money by just fabricating their own dram and using it for themselves as well as selling it to others.

Either way they are in a better position than any other platform holder by having that in house fabrication and knowledge already if this dram fiasco continues for a long time.

ReRAM is basically both

Edit: ReRAM isn't just an idea it's a real thing just haven't taken off but the AI & Low Power device market is going to accelerate it's production.

Completely different tech with different supply chains

Sony should just invent their own RAM. How hard could it be?

They can fabricate what ever they want is the point. No other company who relies on these chips has the ability Sony has RIGHT NOW like Sony does.

Sure, lots of companies can. Question is how feasible and cost effective would it be. I think you underestimate how dramatically different making memory is

Sony had already been developing their own ram.

I need to learn how to use a soldering iron. The future is scavenging old parts.

Just download more ram. It's so easy

Ok u should write them a letter letting them know they should do what u said in OP because apparently the geniuses there haven't figured it out that it's just that simple

lol wut? I already said they are in the best position. No one said they could just start doing it tomorrow. But out of any platform holders. They could get it up and running the fastest and may actually improve on it. Nintendo , Steam, Nex Playground wouldn't be able to do it in the same time frame. They would have to at the very least .. purchase the people with the knowledge and the means to do so.

what??? I didn't say they could do it tomorrow, I literally said you should just tell them what "u said in OP"

Wtf are you talking about

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

For a "green rat" you sure talk a lot about Sony.

Sony had a fab?

Yea, conveniently located behind OPs house, right next to neogaf headquarters.
