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...

Japanese games sales Monster Hunted to death, PSP nears 20 million units

Here's the latest Media Create sales out of Japan and as the whole nation is apparently out Monster Hunting, no one could be bothered to go out.

01./01. [3DS] Monster Hunter 4 # (Capcom)  473.739 / 2.188.799 (-72%)
02./00. [PSV] Yahari Game Demo Ore no Seishun Love Kome Hamachi Gatteiru. (5pb.) 16.469 / NEW
...
10./00. [PSP] La Corda d'Oro 3: Full Voice Special # (Koei Tecmo) 7.062 / NEW
11./03. [PSP] Brothers Conflict: Brilliant Blue # (Idea Factory)  6.865 / 22.162 (-55%)

 Vita sales continue to slide, down to 5,100 as gamers wait for the new models (I and Sony hope), only a few ahead of the venerable PSP. The old stager should hit 20 million sales in Japan next week, surely worthy of some celebration Sony?
