July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6.

Avengers beats Legend of Heroes in UK Vita chart battle

Yep, two actual retail games came out for the Vita last week, prompting something of an upheaval at the top of the UK chart.


Lego Marvel Avengers grabbed the Vita chart number one spot. As you'd expect, the bunch of super heroes should beat down a group of grumpy, status obsessed, students in any battle. However, Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel (Review) comes a creditable second.

Borderlands 2 seems to have had a good run in recent weeks, dragging it back into the top five, while the usual suspects still lurk.

1. Lego Marvel Avengers Warner
2. LoH: Trails of Cold Steel Falcom
3. Minecraft 4J Studios
4. Borderlands 2 Iron Galaxy
5. FIFA 15 EA Sports.

The Amazon Top Sellers looks pretty similar, but with Persona 4 Golden in the top instead of Borderlands, showing the enduring quality of the game.
