"Even before the launch of NEXT 2, storage prices had already been rising for several months. At that time, we believed the price might be approaching its peak. Even if it meant making little to no profit-or even a slight loss-we still decided to move forward with the launch."
"However, what we did not expect was that storage prices would not only continue to rise but would increase even more rapidly."
"Ayaneo notes that it's only temporarily suspending preorders, and that it may consider resuming sales if storage prices return to more reasonable levels in the future."
Ayaneo has announced the suspension of preorders for its Next 2 gaming handheld, originally priced at $1,999, due to soaring digital storage costs. The company states that the overall production cost has nearly doubled, rendering continued sales unsustainable. Despite initial expectations that storage prices would stabilize, they have continued to rise rapidly. Ayaneo will fulfill existing preorders and may resume sales if storage prices become more reasonable in the future. The Next 2 features a 9.06-inch OLED display, Ryzen AI Max 385 processor, integrated Radeon 8050S graphics, 32GB memory, and 1TB SSD storage.
