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.

Sony creates new Third Party Dev Group, port begging for real

Contact me on Twitter through the ingenious and mesmerizing handle of @giocorsi"

Sounds like Sony has made port-begging an official job title, but hopefully it can tie titles and dev teams together. However, if you think that means loads of AAA games will flood the Vita, as lots of people are tweeting this later-day Shahid, think again. Unless it has a mad budget, Sony can't do much more than second division wheeler dealing. And if publisher x doesn't want game y on Vita, it just isn't happening *cough Capcom cough*.
