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...

PSP game tops the Japanese chart, Vita slide to end rather soon I guess

Killzone Mercenary managed to sell 11,000 physical copies to Japanese gamers, getting to No 8 in their chart, matching its UK performance. Not bad for a western FPS game in a country that doesn't really go mental for them. No. 1 went to a cute PSP music game while Ragnarok Ace managed to shift another 9,000+ copies to hang on the coattails of the top 10.

Vita sales are down another 1,000 to 7,400 and the really bad old numbers, but with this week's hardware news, I suspect things will be rather different come October 10, even earlier if gamers are worried about the OLED model becoming scarce. Wonder if Media Create will add the old and new Vita plus the Vita TV sales together? Also, will those sales last or plummet as happened with the original Vita?
