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...

What will NIS America unveil at its February press event?

After a worrying silence, thanks to the usual dead January, the gaming news is coming thick and fast.

Will they include Vita games? There's a better chance than at any Activision, EA or even a Sony event. In attendance will be two special guests - Sohei Niikawa (President of NIS) and Yoshinori Terasawa (producer of Danganronpa), which might give a clue or two as to what's coming our way.

What would you like to see NIS announcing during their event on the 19th?
