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.

Media Create chart welcomes Digimon

The new Media Create chart is out in Japan, and the new Digimon does well for the Vita, not far behind the mighty Pokken Tournament. Elsewhere Gundam drops fast but still moves over the 100K barrier on the Vita.

1. Pokken Tournament (Nintendo) 69,575
2. Digimon World: Next Order (Bandai) - 64.218 / NEW
6. Minecraft (Sony) 9,136
8. Gundam Breaker 3 (Bandai) 8,741
10 Summon Night 6 (Bandai) 7,144

The Vita sold a stable 19,028 units on the week, not bad as Japan motors through another quiet couple of weeks in gaming.


Also of interest, in this week's Famitsu are a bunch of almost random sounding Vita games getting decent scores along with the ubiquitous Winning Post 8.

Winning Post 8 2016 (PS4/PSV) – 8/8/8/8 (bare bones update)
Kono Oozora Ni Tsubasa Wo Hirogete Cruise Sign (PSV) – 8/8/8/8 (port of a PS3 otome)
Silverio Vendetta: Verse of Orpeus (PSV) – 8/7/7/8 (Windows adventure port)
Ore ni Hatarakette Iwaretemo Tori (PSV) – 7/7/7/7 (RPG)

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
