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...

Sony can't fool gamers with LBP Marvel edition

LEGO pretty much dominates the Vita chart now as kiddies stockings get filled with Vita size nick-nacks going cheap on Amazon and in stores. Otherwise, the LittleBigPlanet rehash can only make a modest entry with the Marvel DLC bolted on. Minecraft will stick to No. 1 possibly forever as there are no big Vita games lined up now, possibly ever!

I'm sure they would have sold a lot better on the Vita. I wonder if NISA/Atlus will have a change of heart? Can't see Sony bothering with LBP 3 though.
