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.

Acer unveils a gaming tablet Predator

With rumours of a new Nvidia Shield handheld doing the rounds, Acer is getting busy in the gaming market with a new dedicated Android tablet for players.
