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.

No Football Manager for PS Vita planned by SI Games

According to a forum post by an SI bunny, Sports Interactive has no plans for a PS Vita version of the massive selling Football Manager series. Despite doing great sales on the PSP (300,000 - 500,000K (vgChartz figures) plus each year, and still the current PSP No. 1 in the UK). The post says:
"Unfortunately there are no plans presently to do a Vita specific version of FMH at present, sorry."
Which means that something could happen in the future, but they'll need to get a wiggle on to hit next season's release. Perhaps the developers are planning something more akin to the PC version, given the Vita's power and extra inputs. Versions for iOS and Android are touch-based, so it shouldn't take too much redesign.

You can still play FMH 2012 on the Vita if you download it from the PSN, currently £23.99. If you're on a budget, Championship  Manager 2010 is available from Square Enix for just £3.99 as a mini. On the latest all-formats chart, FM12 on the PSP accounts for 7% of sales (with the other 93% on the PC), suggesting handheld is still a viable format.
