      Before it can ever come to THAT, the governments around the world will start rationing food. Unfortunately the food rations will become more and more meager over time until, at the end stage, each person will get a small soy patty every other day.

      The government is already doing this with not only the elderly with this sham “pandemic,” but has been doing this with chronic pain patients for some time now...
      The CDC is now refusing doctors the right to prescribe long term pain management patients over 90 morphine milligram equivalent of meds, despite the fact they have not been abusers and need the higher dosage due to tolerance.
      They are unanimously all tapering every single patient to be under this limit, no matter their situation/weight/height/tolerance/condition, which is causing many of them to off themselves or to go to the streets (which always ends up badly with what that stuff is mixed with).
      I’m disabled with a destroyed back from a failed back fusion surgery by a corrupt surgeon, and am on daily opiates for quality life for the last 17 years - I am being greatly affected by this CDC mandate.
      Because of what they are doing, I honestly don’t know if I will be here on this planet by Christmas time this year (2021). They began reducing my medicines around spring of last year (2020). I’ve been through three doctors since, and every doctor is terrified that they will lose their license if they don’t continue doing this to me.
      There have been countless people who have offed themselves because of this, due to uncontrolled pain, or they self-medicate by going to the streets (which is always mixed with dangerous crap and leads to unintentional ODs - not to mention that the street stuff is terrible for your organs and such, which opiates are not when they are taken responsibly... Last year I had a thorough work-up where they tested my heart, liver, and blood, and everything looked normal after 17 years of being on methadone and oxycodone - I also took Darvocet for about 6 years prior to help control my pain before I got the back fusion surgery that messed me up waaayyy more).
      Blaming addicts (what they have been using for their excuse to implement this) is a joke for what is going on, because our doctors have a litany of ways to discern between those of us who are legitimate patients and those who are drug seekers/addicts. It is _PROPAGANDA!_ And it began under the Trump administration in 2017.

    To give context, out of 100 microchips manufactured only 2 actually make it through production due to imperfections and cracks in the silicon chips. That will of course effect the performance or at worse make them unusable.
    In my opinion we just need to find something to replace silicon that will give a better yield of usable microchips.

    scalpers were a big part of it with the initial launch, even now scalpers are using bots to grab items as soon as they drop. as of right now retail doesn't seem to care about trying to stop them as they get units sold and then get more allocated, as for graphic cards they were big for crypto until recently with the chinese clampdown. doesn't help that production was stopped for a short time and even more things are having chips just because they can. do you really need your fridge to tell when eggs are out or to be capable of playing skyrim

    There isn't just a chip shortage but an electronic components shortages. Up until a month and a half ago, I was a console modder and I can tell you, many, many products got delayed or are in short supply and it's not just because of arm chips.
    As an example, I tried to make a PIF chip for the N64, used 4 suppliers ended up with 70% of the components I needed having a 2022 ETA and that was back in June 2021 or around that time... Up to a year of wait to get some connectors, just a plastic part with some gold connectors in it, nothing fancier. One of the parts I used all the time were 1µF 50V capacitor, they are so prevalent that EVERY chip you've ever seen has one next to it, I had troubles sourcing them this year...
    Not sure if people can realize what this really means, it's like a restaurant not being able to find napkins or ketchup... It's that bad and insidious.
    My point is that the current situation is more complex than just chip shortages, maybe chips will be plentiful again in 2023 but what about every other supporting component? What good are your arm chips if you can't provide current to them?... There might be a point where components couldn't be made because of the lack of chips and the subsequent shortage of components will render chips useless... Yeah, it's a worse case scenario but think about what happened these past 2 years, we stopped the economy like morons, if that can't create "worst case scenarios", nothing can ever and your world is just wonderful and everyone is always happy all the time and I'd like to take part in that...
    On the bright side, companies are now making shit products, movies and video games so we wouldn't miss out on anything anyway =D See, I can be optimistic!

    It’s the international chip shortage, it’s difficult to get new chips manufactured
    Suppliers have decreased due to being unable to complete and outsourced manufacturing of the components to TMSC, and with the pandemic there was a surge in demand for goods that require chips
    Definitely not just demand of consoles, but chips generally, everyone from automative, payments, military (which likely has priority), data centres needing more load capacity (due to everyone being home), everything
    It would be generous to say console demand is a major factor in itself, imo its one if the big reasons Nintendo just released the OLED model instead of doing a pro model

    Apple does not contract arm, they license the arm architecture and design their own chips which they have TSMC produce. And the nvidia graphics cards chips are made by Samsung. There are a few other chip makers such as global foundries and Samsung. There are also other companies that only make their own chips. It are not on the cutting edge like tsmc and Samsung. Intel makes their own chips but they are going to start making chips for others and have some of their own processors made by tsmc.

      @@Fr33zeBurn You clearly are the one that didn’t listen, demand being so high shows that the video game market is growing rapidly which I doubt is bad for video games. You’re wrong about the chips on two counts. Firstly there are other companies they just don’t have a substantial market share (a bit pedantic but I don’t care) and secondly the chip shortage is because the company is expanding operations (along with the demand being greater than supply).

That's an unsustainable supply, and none of these problems would be happening if they had a sustainable supply of chips i.e more than one company producing all of them.

      While this video focuses on gaming items, those chips are used in damn near everything. Like with many supply chains, the pandemic overtaxed either the supply or demand and it's going to take time for that to level out. It has nothing to do with the size of the gaming industry growing. Most electronic or digital items that use these chips across all sorts of industries experienced this temporary spike in growth. It's not a sign that the industry is growing, just that people were cooped up in their homes and started using more electronics because of that.

    Hey so like, apparently some cars use these chips aswell. And with people not traveling due to the pandemic other places could've decided to take the orders that cars would've normally taken and then when the cars got the orders back in there was still many for the other stuff and thus leading to a shortage. Though the difference is that cars can get rid of certain features to lower their reliance on chips. Video game consoles cannot.

    suppose only half the people who use (not own, only use) a ps4 want to buy a ps5. that would be around 50 million people who want a ps5. the total number of sold PS5 units at this date would be a bit over 10 million. that would mean only 20% of people who want one could get one.
    It also means that if these numbers hold consistent, then it will take a couple years for Sony to build enough ps5 units to meet this speculative demand. And that is only considering half the current ps4 users want a ps5.

    I can assure you wayyyyy more than 200,000 PS5's have been scalped. It's easily in the millions, in my opinion. I'm a reseller myself and have bought and nearly a hundred of them in the past year, and I don't even use a bot. I know other resellers who bot and dedicate a lot more time and money into it that have bought and sold hundreds. I mostly sell consoles to bulk buyers who ship thousands of them a month overseas (mostly to the UAE) where they sell for even more than in the States. I've seen their stashes myself and it's insane.
