June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years.

With those, plus the endless Anime games, and a few more sequels, the little handheld should still have a year or two more in it, especially if Sony drops the price further or starts shipping the cheaper E1000 model over there.
