Nintendo LifeAI score6060 Micron CEO says memory shortages will get worse in 2027
According to The Register, Micron Technology CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said memory demand will exceed supply in 2027 and 2028, with the industry tighter than in 2026, and customers likely paying much higher prices than this year. Micron plans $25 billion in capital expenditure in the first half of its new financial year to bring new factories online in 2028, but says it will take time before supply and demand stabilise. The surge in memory demand comes largely from AI data centres, and Nintendo has already raised Switch 2 prices globally while Sony and Microsoft raised prices for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
GameSpotAI score4040 Sony's Revised PS5 Slim Could Be Cheaper to Make, But Not to Buy
Sony has quietly revised the PS5 again with motherboard changes that make the CR2023 battery easier to access, simplify repairs, and adopt PS5 Pro-style liquid-metal containment and revised heatsink materials, plus a lower-cost HDMI retimer chip. These changes could lower production costs and improve assembly yields, but PS5 prices have only risen since its November 2020 launch: the Digital Edition went from $400 to $600, the disc model from $500 to $650, and the PS5 Pro from $700 to $900.

VGCAI score6262 Micron warns memory shortages will worsen in 2027 as CEO cites much higher prices
On its FY 2026 earnings call, Micron said memory demand will exceed supply in 2027 and 2028, with industry tightness greater than in 2026 and no line of sight to when supply and demand will rebalance. The company said it has already sold most of the memory it expects to produce next year at much higher prices than in 2026, and that new factories coming online in 2028 will not immediately improve availability or lower prices. Rising memory and storage costs have pushed Microsoft, Apple, Valve, Sony and Nintendo to raise hardware prices, while Micron and two other major RAM makers face a class action alleging they fixed supply and prices.

Sony Japan has rolled out an anti-scalper lottery for PS5 Pro orders that requires a Sony account registered in Japan with at least 60 hours of gaming on PS4, PS5, or both. Valve also set reservation requirements for the Steam Frame launch, including a Steam account in good standing and a purchase made before April 27th 2026.
