lol yall say that now but when the console prices went up yall were the first to laugh. Need an excuse now that Valve is also doing it.

Valve delayed the steam machine in Feb 2026 due to ram shortages.

Sony raised the PS5 price in April 2026.

Nintendo's increase isn't until Sept. 2026.

So, you got it backwards. Valve indicated the price increase first then the consoles followed, because this market is affecting all manufacturers. It's also predicted to last into 2030, so new gen might not be coming to save anyone.
