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...

Rugby 15 gets into the chart scrum

Not much movement at the top of the chart this week, but Bigben, the publisher of the upcoming WRC 15 makes a decent dent in proceedings, landing at No. 5 with its Rugby 15 title.

1 = MINECRAFT: PLAYSTATION EDITION 1 11
2 = FIFA 15 EA SPORTS 2 18
3 = KILLZONE: MERCENARY SONY 3 73
4 = LEGO BATMAN 3: BEYOND GOTHAM WARNER 4 11
5 = LITTLEBIGPLANET MARVEL SUPERHERO EDITION SONY 5 9
6 new RUGBY 15 BIG BEN - 1
7 = LEGO MARVEL SUPER HEROES WARNER 7 62
8 + FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD REMASTER SQUARE ENIX 15 43
9 re PERSONA 4 GOLDEN NIS AMERICA - 53
10 - BORDERLANDS 2

A quick squint at the EU PSN store Top Sellers shows a nice variety of games, and as things go increasingly digital, I maintain my call for Sony to start showing some numbers for these to keep the Vita relevant:

1 Minecraft
2 Atelier Ayesha
3 Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragfemnt
4 Danganronpa : TTH
5 Unfinished Swan
