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.

Sony Tablet Confirmed: Could Come With PlayStation Suite

That would include Qriocity, the music service, PlayStation Suite offering PSone and other games. If it does ship with a Tegra 2 processor then it might even manage PS2 games, although that's probably Tegra 4 territory. What it won't have is the XMB interface which is rapidly falling out of favour as a user experience.

With all these tablets swamping the market, it will have to have something very special to stand out against the iPad 2, we'll see soon.
