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.

Ubisoft happy with Assassin's Creed III Liberation sales on Vita

Having built up the Vita engine for Liberation, it would be odd for Ubisoft not to create another game, or a new off-shoot from the series, or even bring the original titles over to Sony's handheld. I'm still playing through the game and will put up a review soon. I agree with most reviews that its not the perfect AC experience, but is still a great game to enjoy on the move.
