July Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

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.

Free apps coming to the PS Vita
