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.

The game is already the most popular on PSNProfiles, approaching 8,500 players and the game isn't even out in the States until next week. Hopefully all these trends will continue then, and Europeans won't really be left hanging until November, just for minor language translations? If you can't wait the import is going for £45 on Amazon, may be cheaper elsewhere.
