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...

Vita manages two games in Japanese top 10

Dragon's Crown on Vita sold more than the PS3 version this week, but is still fading fast in physical sales, suggesting Vanillaware's love is being largely enjoyed by downloaders, which saw a roaring trade last week, as the game hit over 300K combined.

07./00. [PSV] Mind/Zero (Acquire) {2013.08.01} (¥6.279) - 15.575 / NEW
09./03. [PSV] Dragon's Crown (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 13.772 / 84.855 (-81%)


Mind 0 looked so boring, I'm amazed anyone brought it. The Vita itself managed another 17,000 sales keeping it a distant second behind the all-conquering 3DS. The PSP sold another 6,000 and got its own new entry in the form of Shiratsuyu no Kai.
