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 .  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.

Okay, so the PS Vita can stream top PC games, interesting....

You've probably seen this video of the PS Vita running Valve's Left 4 Dead via PlayStation Mobile. Note, it looks like he's streaming the game from his desktop, not installing it to the Vita. Don't think for a minute that Valve would sanction this for a release, but just think about the wider implications while you check out the clip.

There are tens of thousands of PC games out there, and the person who did this has a YouTube channel with a few other titles running to, presumably didn't require months of work to do. With the Vita badly in need of games, what will it take for a small team to get the license for a bunch of existing games, run them through the treadmill and release them on a revenue share-basis through the store?

How much effort would it take to get the likes of Portal, Skyrim, Spec Ops or older titles like Half-Life 2 or Starcraft running? Either streaming them, or by direct install for older games that the company will be happy to get some fresh revenue from.
