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.

Set your alarm clocks and get ready for Tokyo, big Vita news afoot?

But, as we've seen with Hatsume Miku and other big Vita releases, it needs a flood of games rather than a trickle, so if there isn't a rush of news, don't expect those sales figures to rise anytime soon.

What do you want to see, out of the event?
