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.

PlayStation 3 and Vita, together in perfect harmony

I picked up a 500GB new slide-top model to store all those games, which have been downloading at top speed most of the day, but its a slow process with some 5-15GB a decent game plus patches. Note to self, download at night, play during day!

My first ports of call will be to test out Remote Play, LittleBigPlanet 2 has that feature and was the first game I went to download. Then to find some games with Cross Play multiplayer, I know WipEout does that, any others?


Anyway, my lil' ole PlayStation Family is now complete, and I'm now five-for-five on PlayStation console ownership. Just in time for the PlayStation 4 to arrive early next year, gonna be a crowded shelf. Pretty sure I won't be bothering upgrading my Xbox 360 or renewing my Gold subscription, not that they were in any way bad, just not as a compelling deal.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
