PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Sony teasing the reveal of something new for PlayStation

Most likely it isn't something "new" at all, but some random PS4 bundle, it looks very sports car, os Gran Turismo GT Sports? Or possibly, a PS4/PSVR package or an even cheaper PS4 Slim design.

UPDATE: As expected, just a new Gran Turismo Sport LE, pretty but hardly new. However, I hope Sony noted all the requests for a new Vita in the comments of the original post. There is still much love.

For actually "new" it could be a hardware extender, augmented gaming kit, a breakout box or external storage option, there are many things it could be, but would they really be teased like this?

But, just in case Sony wants to go toe-to-toe with Nintendo Switch, then there's always that faintest of hopes for a Vita Pro or PlayStation 4 Portable Player. Guess we'll find out at one of Sony's upcoming events. Anyway, definitely none of them, whatsoever, obviously!

Sony isn't officially at Gamescom beyond a booth, and Paris Games Week is at the beginning of November, so I'd expect an out-of-sequence reveal to stand apart from all the other news. Since there's no timer on reveal, stay tuned!
