I am referring to this part:

Earlier in February, Valve announced that it had postponed the announcement of pricing and availability for its new Steam Hardware lineup, which includes a new Steam Machine, Steam Controller and Steam Frame VR headset, due to the same issue.

“When we announced these products in November, we planned on being able to share specific pricing and launch dates by now,” the company wrote. “But the memory and storage shortages you’ve likely heard about across the industry have rapidly increased since then.”

“The limited availability and growing prices of these critical components mean we must revisit our exact shipping schedule and pricing (especially around Steam Machine and Steam Frame).”
