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...

Vita sales flat in Japan as Taiko no Tatsujin drums into the charts

Bandai's Taiko no Tatsujin (Drum Master) is the only big entry for the Vita this week in Japan, tapping away at No. 3 with just over 46,000 sales. That's way below the 3DS big hitting duo of a new YoKai Watch and Phoenix Wright, but not bad for a near casual title.

01./00. [3DS] Yo-Kai Watch Busters: Red Cat Team / White Dog Squad (Level 5) - 693.538 / NEW
02./00. [3DS] Great Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - (Capcom)  135.690 / NEW
03./00. [PSV] Taiko no Tatsujin: V Version (Bandai Namco) - 46.101 / NEW

Minecraft sticks in the top 10 for the Vita, shifting another 11,000 plus, and now almost at 250,000 boxed copies. You can see why Square are so keen on their Dragon Quest Builders game. All that action helps the Vita shift another 14,250-ish units in Japan, just down on last week's numbers.
