PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Currently looking for beta testers, it works on Windows 7/8 machines and retail Vita systems, so no dev units are required, and since Unity is free or dirt cheap, its an ideal home coder solution.



Of course, it could be roundly ignored and PSM may fall into obsolescence as the focus on best-in-class indies continues, but if it brings a future generation of developers into the light, that could benefit Sony immensely.

While there's no guarantee any of these games will make it over, the developers of Delta-V and Blast 'Em have already shown an interest on Twitter, so it could pay back some pretty quick benefits when the final version launches.
