10/10Things are about to get heated.
This is REALLY bad, we haven't had a big manufacturer out of action in many many years in the industry. This will really drive up prices on many devices.
Well, no other manufacturer has made public in its 2013 brochure a memory exactly like the one in PS4:

Oh man, iPhone 5S fucked.
S-stop it, you're making my S-Link rise

Nobody knows.
Thanks to adoption of custom AMD Fusion system-on-chip with eight Jaguar x86 cores and specialized Radeon HD graphics processor, the PlayStation 4 now relies on 8GB of industry-standard GDDR5, which Sony can source from three manufacturers (Samsung, Micron/Elpida and SK Hynix), instead of two (Samsung, Micron/Elpida).
Guess which 2 companies just increased prices on their GDDR5 chips by about 15%
Yep, the only explanation.*laughs*
every manufacture is fucked. Some can charge more of a premium than others and get away with it though.

doesn't matter if PS4 uses Hynix, every DDR5 would become much more expensive, the delay between the first batch and second batch would be :O or major loss for them

This. Highly unlikely they don't have a contract.Yes, but that won't impact a buyer like Sony for some time. They would have locked in pricing on these contracts months and months ago for at least this fiscal year.

If the extant of damage to the facility is high, it might affect NAND flash prices more than DRAM, since the company recently prioritized NAND flash over DRAM for the facility.
There is a good chance Sony has also getting chips from Samsung.
Does not matter for Sony.
Every company has the manufacturer sign a contract that gives bulks of chipsets for a steady price. They can not up towards 15% and demand more cash from Sony. That is called a breach of contract if they do.

There you go guys. Calm down. You'll get your precious GDDR5.
Hope nobody got hurt.
I almost Forget: Pre-order canceled.

So does this affect either Sony or Microsoft?
I agree, but the supply is the bigger issue here. It's obvious Sony wouldn't up the price to the consumer to reflect their (assumed) increase in manufacturing.
sourceThe facility hit by fire is rumored to be one that handles packaging (placing bumped dies inside ceramic or plastic shells, and labeling them).

Must have been caused by that Xbone CPU upclock.
That ends a ton of panic.people will continue to panic
