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.

UK PS Vita Chart, Jonah Lomu can't budge Snake

There's not much action on the PS Vita charts in the UK this week, in fact July is going to be rather quiet, as you can see from the release schedule. Metal Gear sticks at No.1, most likely due to its competitive pricing. The Vita's first rugby game makes a timid entrance at No. 17 (we are out of season pretty much, and it had a high price) while F1 2011 sneaks back in, probably on the strength of the British Grand Prix weekend.

Price cuts in most stores are sending some older Vita games back up the chart. Hopefully WipEout will get a price cut soon to enable more gamers to pick up the new Fury expansion pack, its down to £21 via Amazon if you're interested. Lego Batman still dominates the all formats chart. Leisure software charts compiled by Chart Track, (C)2012 UKIE Ltd
