AYANEO Raises Prices, and Hints at More to Come
If you were planning to treat yourself to a new handheld gaming device, you might want to grab your credit card immediately—before the price tag jumps.
AYANEO has officially signaled that price hikes are on the way. Driven by the skyrocketing costs of memory and storage components (a phenomenon some are calling the “RAMpocalypse”), the company is warning that current stock for several devices is limited. Once the existing inventory is gone, expect to pay more.
We’re already seeing the impact:
- The KONKR Pocket Fit has seen jumps as high as $130 for certain configurations.
- This shift moves the device out of the “budget” category and puts it in direct competition with higher-priced titans like the AYN Odin 3 Max.
It’s not just AYANEO, either; competitors like AYN and Retroid have also been forced to adjust their pricing. If you’ve had your eye on the Pocket VERT or the Pocket S Mini, now is the time to strike. Once the new, more expensive stock arrives, that “budget” feeling will be a thing of the past.
