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.

Tokyo Games Show Opens to Public, Vita Star of the Show

And, those that did get in got to play some of the cracking titles on show, note try them in 720 if possible, fullscreen - awesome:





Just found a Japanese site that has bunch more off-screen videos, easier than me coping them all here.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
