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 .  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.

Has anyone ordered one and got theirs yet, thoughts on the screen welcome. Would anyone pay £199 for it? Definitely cheaper in the stores for once.

UPDATE: Amazon has fixed its pricing, even knocking a couple of quid off, now down to £177.99. Not sure what the glitch was, but it can't have helped Sony's case on launch day.


Has Sony's poor financials given it a change of heart, trying to screw a few more pounds out of buyers rather than actually sell some units? GAME and what's left of HMV still have it at £179, and ShopTo at £185 (with a 16GB card and games), any better deals out there? 

Perhaps best of all, you can buy Japanese imports in the cooler colours for £140 with free shipping from eBay, if you can wait a few days for the courier to deliver.
