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...

Sony Japan promising big news tomorrow, 7AM UK video stream

It could be as prosaic as a mention of The Last Guardian now being a PS4 game, but surely not a release title.

There might also be a Vita snippet or two, especially as hardware sales are diving back to levels from the bad old days. See you here tomorrow!

UPDATE: The replay is now live, and there was a whole lot of Vita news including:

New model and 64GB card
Soul Sacrifice Delta and Phantasy Star Nova
PlayStation Vita TV dongle


Live streaming video by Ustream

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
