StaceyPowers Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 How long do you think the microchip shortage will go on (and the subsequent shortage of consoles)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I don't think that there is an answer for that, as we can't know when the pandemic will disappear (mutations everywhere, people refusing to vaccine etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Another two to three years minimum or at least until we can do something about the scalpers and the Crypto miners. It will probably be 5 years before we see any semblance of normalcy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m76 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 As long as lawmakers don't crack down on cryptocurrencies and scalping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I hear that many people have to wait till late 2022 to get there new GPU, meaning they already orderd and they are in the waiting game. Not just chips that they are short on. As soon as they make and send they get brought out so fast by ryptocurrencies and scalping and it's so unfar. Worse they allow it.

So I don't expect everyone to be on board, but if the biggest first world economic powers acted against it, it would be pushed into insignificance.

It's definitely going to depend on the companies that are making those chips and with pandemic hindering a lot of things, we definitely won't know.
