July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

Orgarhythm and Dokuro get sites, new PS Vita games on the way, finally!

Another PS Vita game getting an official site is Dokuro, which brings a rather Tim Burton style to the (guessing) puzzle/platform game. Not much info there but expect it to populate in the coming weeks.



Finally we have Namco's teaser site for a PSP game that seems to be for Hunter x Hunter, a very popular manga, which should sell by the truckload. While none of these may be classical AAA titles, invention and style (in the case of the first two) will go a long way to building an audience.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
