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.

Monster Hunter slays Japanese chart

No prizes for guessing who's number one, which is likely to be there for some time. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate sold around 1.6 million copies in just two days, Capcom announced ahead of the chart update later today. Add in downloads and that's probably over two million.


PS Vita games are sticking around the Media Create chart, with Danganronpa and Legend of Heroes 2 bothering the 6 figure mark:

8 Danganronpa Another Episode Spike Chunsoft this week: 7,184 total: 93,113
10 The Legend of Heroes II  Falcom 5,021 102,905 87
12  FIFA 15 Electronic Arts 14/10/09 4,253 New entry
18 Ar Nosurge Plus: Ode to an Unborn Star (Gust) - 3.157 / 12.398 
Nintendo announced the new model 3DS topped 230,000 units on the week. Lets see the new pink Vita or Value Packs match that! As if that wasn't "kerching enough", another version of Tokai Watch is due in December!

My money is still on a PlayStation 4 Portable to lure Japan into PS4 ownership that they can play on the move. Unsurprisingly, Vita hardware sales dived to below 10,000, losing almost 5,000 sales. Looking forward, here's some recent PS Vita scores from Famitsu, but there's nothing that should help sales match those big blue sales spikes at the end of last year in the chart:

Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu 2014 (PS3/Vita) – 9/9/8/9
Super Hero Generation (PS3/Vita) – 8/8/8/7
Puri Pia: Prince Pia Carrot (PSP) – 8/7/7/6
Divekick: Addition Edition (PS3/PSV) – 9/8/8/7
Chaos Rings III: Prequel Trilogy (PSV) – 8/8/9/8

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
