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. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

Persona Dancing games disco into Japanese charts

Media Create's latest chart is full of Persona as the various games and bundles boogie their way onto the floor. Numbers aren't massive for any of them, but combined, it looks like an impressive haul of 29,500 on the Vita alone for physical sales, and I'm sure digital downloads were pretty high.

For reference, Persona 4 Dancing All Night sold 94K on launch for the Vita. Fate/Extella Link is the next major release, out 7 June in Japan.

Media Create chart

3   Persona Dancing All-Star Triple Pack 27, 240 (PS4)
4   Persona Dancing Deluxe Twin Plus         21,579 (PSV)
10 Persona 5 Dancing Star Night                 7,876 (PS4) 
14 Persona 5 Dancing Star Night                 4,554 (PSV)
16 Persona 3 Dancing Moon Night         3, 305 (PSV)


Vita itself is stuck at just under 2,300 unit sales for last week, suggesting this is now the current floor with anything higher being good. Even if it goes lower, Sony's recent commitments to 2020 mean they're unlikely to pull the plug.

To highlight that, there's even a decent new hardware bundle as part of the Days of Play global promotion, with a silver Vita and 32Gb card for around £180, but only in Japan, although you can import one from Amazon Japan if you're quick!
