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.

Spotted: NGP-Related Launch Countdown

A new emulator service being announced? Looking at all those consoles and given the power of the NGP, it could well be. Intriguing stuff - even if it turns out to be nothing, a nice piece of art.

The company behind it is a games publisher with Astonishia Story and other titles on its roster, but, based on the image, this is something a lot bigger than just a game.
