 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Famitsu reveals 2013's first half sales leaders, Soul Sacrifice the Vita's biggest

PS Vita

1. Soul Sacrifice – 180,000
2. Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus – 130,000
3. Toukiden – 120,000

PSP
1. Sword Art Online Infinity Moment – 190,000
2. Pro Baseball Spirits 2013 – 150,000
3. Summon Night 5 – 120,000

Note Media Create figures (which my figure is based on) and Famitsu numbers differ, so the two may not align.
