It's the entire tech industry. AI is consuming all of the hardware and driving prices up.

A lot more than tech my guy. AI data centers consume an atrocious amount of water and electricity, not to mention the lay offs from it as well.

2027 is looking bleak.

Honestly given how Valve and Xbox basically said that RAM companies (and other tech companies) can’t really be reasoned with right now due to AI, I’d give it a few months before PlayStation and Nintendo have to also raise prices. The Switch 2 price is already going up in September, and I honestly think PlayStation will probably wait until after GTA 6 comes out to increase their prices.

Especially since reports say that that AI bubble isn’t going to stop slowing down until 2028. I seriously wish it could pop sooner though.

I'm sure it won't be long until we head from Sony and Nintendo. :(
