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...

Actual new entries in the UK Vita chart

Aquaplus' RPG Dungeon Travelers 2 breaks up the slumber of the Vita UK retail chart with a No. 3 entry that probably means it sold about 202 copies. To be fair, it only sold around 20,000 in Japan - so 1%, yay! Try the free demo on PSN if you want to give this a spin.

In at No. 5 is WRC 5 from Big Ben, which might just have managed 146 sales (guessing wildly here). A shame the series has moved developers from Milestone, and that they stopped working on MotoGP on Vita, which could have sold decent numbers given the cracking season coming to a nail-biting climax.

1. MINECRAFT: PLAYSTATION EDITION (4J STUDIOS)
2. FIFA 15 EA CANADA EA SPORTS (EA)
3. DUNGEON TRAVELERS 2: THE ROYAL LIBRARY (STING)
4. LEGO JURASSIC WORLD TRAVELLER'S TALES (WARNER)
5. WRC 5 KYLOTONN (BIG BEN, UBISOFT)

Who really knows, since the numbers never get published due to the feeble pressure of publishers, and with digital sales these could all be in the gazillions! Minecraft continues its dogged possession of No. 1, perhaps Persona 4 Dancing All Night can nobble it in a few weeks.
