Buyers who were procrastinating about purchasing a Valve gaming handheld are feeling regretful. The Steam Deck OLED has disappeared from the U.S. storefront, with stock levels sporadic elsewhere. Facing component shortages, the manufacturer may be considering a price increase.
I’ve seen people mention headlines that memory producers are intentionally not increasing production in order to not have a post-bubble glut - but also found at least one headline suggesting that they were in fact planning new factories, so… Who knows.
I think with the lead time required for new factories that catching up may be super slow. I’m inclined to lead towards the former still even with new fabs coming.
I’ve never seen a shortage not followed by a glut.
