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.

Or are we getting shafted with a digital only version? Confusion awaits! Check out the recent batch of screens too.

UPDATE: Sony say the Vita version is coming, but they aren't announcing it just yet which sounds like a pain in the ass of a delay to me.
