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.

Hatsune Miku has sold 2.5 million copies in five years

Guess we'll find out soon enough. No sales figures for individual games, but the PSP titles were around 400, 000 each and Vita titles should have easily sold 200,000+ by now.
