A Reuters report suggests that Valve and Sony might delay releasing Steam Machine and PS6 due to the rising memory costs:
[Joost] said sticker prices for consoles could rise another 10% to 15% over the next year or two, while PC prices could climb as much as 30%
[Sony] can extend device life-cycles to blunt the impact
costs could also complicate the roll-out of devices including the Steam Machine
Bourne said […] “instead of risking poor sales, we might see console makers delay releases”
Reuters also quoted the TrendForce forecast that I posted here.
