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...

Sony's Paris Games Week event, boobs or bust?

With even major game sites like VG24/7 calling it "a PS4 press conference" it looks like everyone outside of our jolly little band has now forgotten the PS Vita exists.


So, without getting expectations up, will Sony try and generate interest with a boob-fest? Imagine throwing the collective cleavage of Senran Kagura, Uppers, Criminal Girls and so on at a stunned audience!


Realistically, with just five days to go, there's no reason at all to get excited, but you can still watch the show here or on Twitch. Since Sony doesn't even bother touting Vita as a Remote Play device these days, seriously, don't expect a bean - especially as the PS4 just got an EU price cut with not even a slight trim in memory card prices for those of suffering with huge digital collections.

Even the 2DS has enjoyed a nice trim to tempt seasonal shoppers, but Sony's focus seems purely on PS4. Even if it had designed and built a PS Vita HD upgrade in the labs, I doubt it would get a western release now. But, hey, is it too much to ask for a quick sizzle reel and a few euros off memory cards?
