June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

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.

Japanese weekly sales show Toukiden hanging tough

07./06. [PSV] Toukiden # (Koei Tecmo) {2013.06.27} (¥6.090) - 12.953 / 199.916 (-38%)

Vita hardware sales are down around 1,000 to 14,400, but Dragon's Crown should give things a sizeable boost. The PSP is just about 20 weeks of sales away from crossing 20 million units in Japan.
