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...

An actual Sony PSP E1000 Advert

UPDATE: And now there's been a neat grafitti-laden banner ad on this very site with a link to the Amazon offer, looks like the Sony marketing machine is finally kicking in.

On a stranger note, my blog is getting hammered with "PSP E1000 89.99" searches from Google, so either someone is trying to find out who's talking about it, or there are a lot of interested people out there. Just pray they never find Sony's coming soon for PSP page that lists exactly four games - non-smiley face.
