July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

The Sony Vita buyer's pledge...

AKA, a grumpy Monday morning. Promise to cheer up from here on out!

I (state your name),

I understand that there is something called Remote Play, but that requires me to put even more cash down for a PlayStation 4, and one-day, perhaps, PlayStation Now.

I do not blame Sony for this (except their joke of a marketing department) as I understand the world has changed, and it (and the industry) can't be expected to support loyal portable users anymore - except for Shahid Ahmad, Adam Boyes and their teams who are fighting the good fight!  

Yours,

(sign your name).

P.S. Should Sony or partners accidentally reveal any big Vita games at E3, please make sure that:

 A) they actually exist in a showable form
B) have an actual developer involved
C) are not the figment of Ken Levine's imagination
