Component costs are being driven upward by intense demand for AI data centres, which is severely impacting memory availability. Hardware insiders report that the RAM and NAND flash storage alone for the next-generation console cost over $680 per unit. Analysts suggest these soaring expenditures will force Sony to set a retail price well above traditional console pricing models.Why it mattersMemory and storage hardware
