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...

UK PS Vita Chart: Uncharted finds some buried sales to dethrone Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat managed two weeks at the top of the chart before the Vita's dynamic duo could finally dislodge it. Things will get a little more lively in the next few weeks with Resistance: Burning Skies, Metal Gear HD, Gravity Rush and Doctor Who all demanding your cash.

1 ^ Uncharted: Golden Abyss
2 - FIFA Football
3 Mortal Kombat
4 - Rayman Origins
5 - Unit 13

Interesting to note that Rayman on the Vita accounts for 21% of the games overall sales on the all-formats chart. Not huge, but still valuable income for Ubisoft. Play spot the difference with last week's chart. Leisure software charts compiled by Chart Track, (C)2012 UKIE Ltd UKIE.

On the PSN store, the top downloads are:

1 Mortal Kombat
2  MotorStorm RC
3 Escape Plan
4 Pure Chess
5 Plants vs. Zombies
6. Mutant Blobs Attack
7 Super Stardust Delta
8 Hustle Kings
9 Unit 13
10 Rayman Origins

Clearly Vita users are taking advantage of the store for the better value downloads, and good to see we're ignoring the dross that lurks on the store. A shame there's no minis chart to see how Velocity is doing.
