    ram prices have gotten high enough that they cannot price the console

    If that was true, then anything that uses RAM would be following a similar theme.

      Yes, that is exactly what will happen. Every device needs RAM and the problem is not only that the prices are going up, but also that the market is empty. So even if you want to buy RAM at higher prices, you can’t

        I feel like a tech crash is looming…and consumers are going to be wading in the shit left over by AI and big tech for years.

          I feel that, too. Not only because everything is getting so expensive, but because tech somehow became less and less fun. There was so much joy about new tech, now everything is kind of shitty. The internet used to be fun, now it’s influencers doing their sales pitches and people trying to shove ads in your face. And even video games became microtransaction-lootbox-filled-hellholes.

      Well, things like raspberry pi’s are already getting more expensive. Big companies are insulated a little bit longer, but they will get more expensive also.
