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. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

Dragon's Crown, not that valuable in Japan?

Combined, Dragon's Crown on the PS3 and Vita sold 175,000 but that lagged behind the latest Pheonix Wright adventure for the 3DS. To me those sales numbers don't look that high, especially after reports of the game selling out. Either Atlus low-balled on the release numbers, which seems strange for such an expensive game.\

Toukiden finally dropped out of the top 10, but has now crossed the 200,000 mark which puts it into serious Vita hit territory. While on the hardware front, it looks like DC help shift another 5,000 odd Vita consoles as the format hit 19,866 sales for the week. More than it does across most of Europe in a month!, if some national figures are to be believed.

02./00. [PS3] Dragon's Crown (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 104.359 / NEW
03./00. [PSV] Dragon's Crown (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 71.083 / NEW
17./07. [PSV] Toukiden # (Koei Tecmo) {2013.06.27} (¥6.090) - 8.253 / 208.170 (-36%)

 To celebrate the game's imminent U.S. release, there's a new trailer, Europe stand by to import like the good old days.
