New reports indicate that the next generation of consoles is being reconsidered as the industry grapples with a tightening memory market. Sony is reportedly weighing a postponement of PlayStation 6, while Nintendo is said to be contemplating a higher price for Switch 2 as AI-driven demand for RAM continues to squeeze suppliers.

  • Sony is reportedly exploring a later release window for PS6 to avoid launching amid constrained memory availability.
  • Industry sources suggest that major cloud and AI players are absorbing a large share of high-performance memory, reducing supply for consumer devices.
  • Nintendo is said to be assessing a price increase for the successor to Switch to offset higher component costs.
  • If shortages persist, both launch timing and retail pricing for new hardware could be influenced by global memory market dynamics rather than product readiness alone.
