Ayaneo halts gaming handheld sales due to storage costs
The Verge·
Ayaneo is suspending preorders for its $1,999 Next 2 Windows gaming handheld, citing unsustainable production costs driven by skyrocketing digital storage prices. The company stated that the increased cost of components has nearly doubled the original build price, making continued sales financially unviable. Ayaneo had anticipated rising storage prices but underestimated the extent of the increase, deciding to proceed with the launch even with minimal profit margins. The decision reflects the significant impact of component cost fluctuations on the consumer electronics market.
