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.

Toukiden lifts the Vita in the Japanese charts, sells double the PSP version

The Vita sold 31.271 units last week, up 18,000 on the previous chart, making it the seventh biggest selling week this year. With Dragon's Crown due in a couple of weeks, will the Vita get on a bit of a roll before the summer lull? Not sure where the Vita version of Gundam Breaker charted, if that's out yet.
