PS6 cost will be worse than you think as memory shortage set to increase prices
The upcoming PlayStation 6 and other next-generation consoles are predicted to be significantly more expensive due to an ongoing memory shortage expected to worsen through 2027 and 2028. Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra stated that demand will exceed supply, leading to much higher prices. This situation, exacerbated by demand from AI data centers, suggests console prices could exceed £1,000, potentially impacting mass-market appeal.
