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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Minecraft and PSO 2 v3 splash into the Japanese chart

This week's Media Create chart sees a flurry of activity, but that's just the calm before next week's storm. Minecraft, already having sold over 200,000 on digital, makes its way into the retail market with another 36K sales, while the latest update to Phantasy Star Online also shifts a hefty 26K, with Digimon moving another 20K, after last week's low stock launch.
