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 .  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.

Vita saved: New games confirmed at PlayStation Experience

Perhaps not completely saved, in fact still tucked away in Sony's so-last-year box but hey - the Vita gets a big game for 2015. At first I thought they said that Atlus will bring the PS4 and PS3 title Persona 5 west along with a Vita version, (UPDATE: Or not, guess i misheard still there was lots of other stuff coming!) based on the back of the success of Persona 4 Golden.

Of course, that's not to say Persona 5 Portable isn't in the works! However, we do (finally) get Resident Evil 2 Revelations (having been mis-announced and rumoured a few times) to the Vita via Capcom and Sony Third Party Studios. Plus an almost inevitable MLB 15 The Show.

Additional games coming for Vita include Geometry Wars 3, Transistor (I think, these guys really need to stick labels on everything) and the rather cute Xbox adventure Bastion. With some six million viewers tuning into watch the keynote speech, plus thousands more at the Las Vegas show, it was a lively old keynote bash.

UPDATE: EA is giving away Need for Speed on the Vita on PSN this weekend, not sure if that's US only but will check.

UPDATE: Shovel Knight, best indie game of the year, confirmed for Vita in 2015. Also coming is an all-new game, Severed from Drinkbox.

UPDATE: Gio Corsi announced Suidoken I and II coming to PS Vita (as in the PS One titles), Towerfall Ascension, with expansion pack DarkWorld plus Super Time Force Ultra (pictured), and strategy RPG The Banner Saga.

To go along with Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle will also be coming to PS4 and Vita.
