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...

Minecraft dominates PSN sales

No surprise who is number one when it came to PSN in November, with the Vita edition proving the most popular, likely by far. But since we don't get any download numbers from Sony (shame the Sony Studios hack didn't pick any of this stuff up), who knows who dominant it really was.

I've just started getting back into Killzone and am pleased to see it at No. 2. Surely the game, which also remains in the top three of the retail chart on a permanent basis, has made enough money for Sony to consider rolling out another episode. Even if it just reuses scaled-down assets from the PS4 version with new mission goals?

Freedom Wars is doing consistently well, there's a useful comment in the PSN blog post for these numbers, listing all the players across the different ranges. It adds up to 8,500 just about which suggests that's about the best Sony can hope for in sales of big Vita games (excluding people who play exclusively offline). Guessing that's EU only but still pretty grim!
