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...

iPad 3 launches, still not the gaming threat it could be

Apple just wrapped up its iPad 3 launch, although it is now called plain-old "iPad." The third-generation iPad is packed with quad core technology and a lovely retina display, with games a natural way to show off its chops.

While there were two games shown off, a new Infinity Blade title called Dungeons from Epic and Namco showing off an Ace Combat-alike called Sky Gamblers (which has been out for some time, this must be an iPad 3 specific update) - there was less of a focus than I expected, although they had a lot to cram in.

Despite the fact that iPad 3 will sell more in one day than the Vita will in its first year, I don't think gamers need be overly worried, yet. However, Apple is clearly prodding a stick in the gaming hornet's nest and expect plenty more news from them in 2012.


The Infinity Blade Dungeons trailer goes all Diablo, or Ruin on your ass

Apple also had to cram in the new Apple TV box, other creative apps, and it did say 2012 has just started. But even so, with all that technology, you would have expected Apple to demo some games that would really shake the gaming market. I think Sony and MS just breathed a large sigh of relief.


Not quite core gaming is it?
