With the recent sharp increase in memory prices, overseas, the price of 64GB memory has exceeded that of an entire Sony PS5 console.
As shown in the picture below, in overseas online malls, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5 6000 desktop memory is priced at US$600, and the PS5 console happened to catch up with the Black Friday promotion, with the original price of US$550 and the current price of US$449.
According to the latest rumors, this has even affected the Microsoft Xbox Series X|S console, and it is said that Xbox may have to increase its price again.
In addition to Xbox, Valve’s newly announced Steam console may also be affected.The pricing of Steam Machine has not yet been announced, but Valve has made it clear that Steam Machine will be priced like a PC, rather than the strategy of a game console where the hardware loses money and the game software recovers.This means that the original price of Steam Machine will be higher than that of the console, and with the huge increase in memory prices, V's Steam Machine console may also face the same situation as Xbox.
Netizen: The G.SKILL 64GB DDR4 memory I bought 2 years ago has now increased by US$200.
Netizen: When the PC was assembled in November last year, 32GB cost US$119, but now it costs US$499, an increase of US$380.
Netizen: The gaming industry had better start learning how to optimize, because no one will be buying high-end computers for a while.
