'Consoles are here to stay': CD Projekt Red boss bets on Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo 'weathering the storm' despite RAM crisis

CD Projekt Red's joint CEO Michal Nowakowski expresses confidence that game consoles will withstand the ongoing RAM crisis, despite industry projections indicating worsening shortages in 2027 and beyond. Nowakowski, speaking with The Game Business, states that consoles will endure the challenge, as high hardware prices and RAM shortages are likely to persist.

He emphasizes the importance of consoles for accessing gaming on a casual or semi-casual level, highlighting their user-friendly nature. While Sony faces scrutiny due to its decision to discontinue physical game discs for PlayStation consoles starting in 2028, Nowakowski remains optimistic, asserting that consoles are here to stay and that CD Projekt Red is unaffected by potential delays in next-gen console launches.
