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...

Opinion: Sony TGS - Don't Bring a PowerPoint to a games show

Dear Sony,

Well done for boring the socks of an entire industry. I'm not talking about the games, although there's a slight air of could-have-done-better (not so many remakes) about them. But for 90+ minutes you  managed to sap the excitement, enthusiasm and life out of your presentation.

And that's the problem, you dragged out a corporate presentation to a party... spending half the time demoing social features and TV services that are about 3% of your user's time is a waste of that time. Similarly, games are living breathing beasts, we don't go "ooh" over a logo any more, gamers and gaming journalists want to see high impact live footage from the games themselves, even rendered trailers are pretty much a sin now in the HD era.

Fix it for next time please!
