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...

Danganronpa 2 murders the UK Vita chart

1 new DANGANRONPA 2: GOODBYE DESPAIR NIS AMERICA - 1
2 KILLZONE: MERCENARY SONY. 4 53
3 FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD REMASTER SQUARE ENIX 2 25
4 BORDERLANDS 2 2K GAMES 3 15
5 DISGAEA 4: A PROMISE REVISITED NIS AMERICA 1 2

Over on Amazon, the live chart sees Minecraft still at No. 1 awaiting a release date while Freedom Wars is jockeying around with Danganronpa for the 2/3 spot. The next major releases are Natural Doctrine and another crappy FIFA update.

Guess Tales of Hearts is probably the biggest release by fan base) for the Vita this year. That's due in November, but with all the mega releases happening around then, I guess it could easily be overlooked.

1 Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment (New)
2 Assassin’s Creed III Liberation (5)
