Steam Deck sellout shows device demand despite DRAM-linked price pressure

TechPowerUp reported that the Steam Deck OLED sold out in the U.S. within 24 hours of its first restock in months, despite recent price increases of up to $300. The article connects the pricing backdrop to broader PC hardware and DRAM shortage concerns, while noting that demand remained strong enough to push the device back to the top of Steam's U.S. top-sellers chart by revenue. For RamTrend, this is a downstream signal rather than a component-market datapoint: higher memory and hardware costs are showing up in finished-device pricing, but consumer demand for scarce devices can still absorb some of that increase.
