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's Share blog kicks back into action

The PlayStation community is pretty cunning when it comes to plans, but if often felt like they fell on deaf ears, until the likes of Shahid Ahmad and Gio Corsi took to Twitter and gave us gamers a point of contact. To more formalize the process, Sony US has relaunched its Share blog (not sure if there's an EU equivalent, yet), giving you the opportunity to suggest your ideas to the community.

The relaunch is focused around the PS4 and Vita, with topics like changing your PS id and family subscriptions for PS+ top of the list. You don't have to be in the US to get involved, so wade in, just remember things like port begging and obscure OS feature requests are unlikely to get high up the ladder.

My top three would be:

  • Quick share to Twitter of PS Vita screenshots.
  • Option to force online connection to 'always on' to avoid "connecting" messages.
  • Revamp the "near" app into something useful and fun, rather than mad and obscure. 

What would you suggest?
