June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

Gundam Breaker 3 dominates in Japan

On the hardware side, the new Vita starter kits had a modest impact on sales, up to just under 30,000 for the week.


Elsewhere in the latest Famitsu reviews, Digimon World: Next Order top scored scored 8/8/9/8, which suggests hot sales for the reinvigorated series.
