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. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

GameGadget Won't Rival Vita, But Good for Retro Gamers

There's always been a funny little market for unofficial consoles and this GameGadget is the latest to line up alongside the Gizmodo and other oddities. Looking rather Game-and-Watch, it will offer a way to "buy legal and secure downloads of their favourite games through an iTunes style application onto a single portable device."


Gamers and coders also be able to create their own titles, using Linux-based libraries. Using an app store, titles will be easily ported and sold, with a share of the profits of the originals going to the creators. There's no word on the power of the device but for $99 you can get a decent processor and small GPU to handle stuff. Looks like there are shoulder buttons for six button gaming.

Just wonder what level of games developer will sign up for this? You can already get Spectrum, C64 and MegaDrive titles on the iOS and Android, so is it really needed? We'll see. More to the point, how long before it is rooted and running MAME?
