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.

Japanese Charts, Yu-gi-oh and Battle Masters Hit for PSP (with video)

A new Yu-Gi-Oh game made the top three, Yu-gi-oh 5D's Tag Force 6 sold 65,000 copies while Busou Shinki Battle Masters Mk.2 sold 32,000.
