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. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

So, What Features Did Sony Leave Out Of NGP?

Lots of stories yesterday about Yoshida-san's comments in Edge magazine about leaving stuff out of the NGP, but no one seems to have asked exactly what features they were.

My guesses would be:

1. 3D
2. Full-4G phone
3. SSD drive
4. Carbon fibre or Titanium skin (which would be a bit Apple)
5. Surround sound speakers

Can't think of much else you can throw into a portable, any more suggestions?
