July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6.

So, we'll get all hyped up again in August and wait to see what legendary games Sony has to show. Not even going to play "let's guess what'll be on show" this time, and then there's Tokyo Games Show for one last stab at Vita greatness, before it begins 2014 as a gamer's curio.
