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's last throw of the dice for big games in April's PS+ offering

In the US, and Europe, April will bring Vita owners Killzone Mercenary (i.e., the game that every single Vita owner should already have) and the quirky newcomer MonsterBag. That pretty much signals the end of the line for Sony's major first party titles on the Vita as far as PlayStation Plus is concerned, so its pretty much downhill from here.



That's probably not an issue if you also have a PS4 with a string of new games to come, or PS3 owners with a massive archive for Sony to raid, but if you only have a Vita then pretty soon, you could be asking what's the point. Perhaps the deal might convince those picking up the new low-cost PS TV to get PS+, but even with bigger sales, that can't be a huge number!
