ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X Prices Spike in Japan, Memory Crisis Likely To Blame
What happened
ASUS ROG Ally X handheld gaming PC prices in Japan increased 21% (¥139,800 to ¥169,000), specifically for the 24GB LPDDR5X model. The surge is attributed to ongoing DRAM shortages, with similar PC hardware price increases observed in the region. Bullish: This localized price spike for a high-memory SKU signals tight LPDDR5X supply and potential for broader price increases in Western markets.
