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...

Sky TV not bothering with Vita or PS TV either

The app arrives on PS4 now and even the PS3 gets it next year, but somehow watching on the Vita's screen is a big no-no? Sky Sports, Sky Movies and its 70 regular TV channels are free for Sky Multiscreen users or £5 for the Sky Go Extra service, plus on-demand content and download for offline viewing!

I guess Sky remembers the low-turnout it got for the PSP product it offered briefly, but with a more mobile and mature market now, how hard is it to code one streaming app? Guess we'll never see Sky on that lovely OLED!
