June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices.

Or, take the engine and trim it down for the PSP2 platform and offer a more traditional MMO RPG that could become to America and Europe what the Monster Hunter franchise is in Japan. There are plenty of unloved developers at the moment, even old hands from Blizzard (the World of Warcraft geniuses) who know their way around the MMO scene, in need of a job and Sony has the budget and power to create the right universe and game for massive success, just a thought!
