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. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

An Android-powered PSP - the Axis of Evil strikes

Not only has this Axis of Gaming Evil blatantly ripped off the PSP (if the JXD S5510 actually exists) almost completely, down to the shapes on the buttons (and the company has form, with a number of rip-offs).

However, whatever dodgy factory this came out of is likely to explode mysteriously any time soon and its appearance in any western market would be followed rapidly by sirens, assault rifles and laywers.

Specs include:
 Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
5-inch, 800×480 capacitive touch screen (lower res but the same size as the Vita
HDMI output (one up on the Vita)
Amlogic M3 processor
512 DDR RAM
microSD slot (another one up on the Vita)
Wi-Fi

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
