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...

Digimon sells 76K on launch

The latest Media Create chart is out in Japan and in a busy week, Bandai's Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth slots in at No. 3 selling 76,760 copies (over 90% of shipped copies), making it the most popular Digimon launch yet. It arrives behind Yakuza 0 on PS3 and PS4, and hopefully this success will help push it to a western release.

In at No. 4 is a PSP otome game (of all things) Song of Prince Sana "Utapri" from Brocolli. Down the list God Eater 2 Rage Burst is just a smidge off (and now probably past) 300,000 sales!

Vita sales nudged up a few hundred to just below 21,000 on the week (still ahead of the new 3DS LL) with Winning Post (selling just 6,000) and a couple of other games out. This week sees Pirate Warriors 3 and a bunch of others out so expect a bigger rise next week.
