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.

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.



UPDATED: Sony has just put up the PSN charts for August, with the Vita's big sellers. In Europe, we picked up...

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