PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

PS Vita to get some Sunflowers

  • Shaking the device (using the accelerometer) is used to get rid of dead leaves on Autumn levels
  • The camera is used to catch the ambient light during specific dusk tropical stages





Specifically a PS Vita release, it uses all the system's interfaces such as shaking and the touchscreen, and it plays with the screen held in portrait, which is a first, I think. With its bright visuals, tinkly tunes, if it was any jollier, it would explode in rainbows. Expect a release and a demo soon, with its classic, immediate style of hook, this looks like a winner.
