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.

Watch the Soul Sacrifice demo in action

Interestingly, Soul Sacrifice is only down at No. 15 on Amazon Japan's pre-order page, I'll monitor that and see if it shoots up on the back of the demo (Phantasy Star is No. 1 if you're bothered).
