Currently, major US retailers, including Newegg and Amazon, appear to have plenty of stock of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-ram-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\">the best DDR5 PC memory kits<\/a>, and no doubt some not-so-good, too.<\/p>\n<p>The immediate question is whether the Japanese market is a little closer to what you might call the hardware channel. Allow me to explain. AI data centres do not use the same DDR5 memory as consumer PCs. So, those kits aren&#8217;t being bought up by the likes of OpenAI.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, what&#8217;s more likely to be happening is that memory chip production capacity is being tilted in favour of higher margin memory that does go, in some form, to those data centres.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, then, that shift in production will show up in depleted supplies of consumer-grade PC memory. But that takes time, especially when you factor in shipping those kits across the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>It may well be, in other words, that there is less lag between that shift in production and retail supplies in Japan than in the US and other Western markets. And thus PC Ones&#8217; memory supply woes are a harbinger of shortages that will land in the US and Europe, sooner or later.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1918px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.31%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"yfHJFqRjk2N6hM53irQL4B\" name=\"crucial-t710-5\" alt=\"A Crucial T710 SSD on some fans ready to be installed inside a gaming PC.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/a-japanese-retailer-is-now-restricting-pc-memory-purchases-so-is-it-time-to-properly-panic.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1918\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Supplies of flash memory for SSDs are tight, too. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Certainly, there&#8217;s no doubting there&#8217;s a pinch on all kinds of memory and storage right now.
