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...

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

Having charted the fall and rise of the Vita this year, Famitsu is putting out the half-time numbers for the biggest selling games.

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.
