💨 Abstract

A global PC memory shortage, expected to last beyond 2028, is raising concerns about its impact on video game consoles. Samsung and SK Hynix, which control about 70% of the DRAM market, are struggling to meet demand. This shortage could affect the production and pricing of next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 6 and Xbox, potentially leading to delays or price increases. The AI industry's demand for memory is a significant contributor to this shortage.
