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.

Tales of... demo frenzy on the PS Vita

Update: the other Tales of... game, Innocence R is also getting a demo. With the full game out next week, it'll have to arrive really quickly to be of value or will perhaps be used to tempt those who don't rush out and buy the it, which considering the game should be the Vita's first No. 1, won't be many.
