PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  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 still dominates the UK Vita chart

Apart from the odd week where a big new entry arrives (Persona 4 DAN, Danganronpa Ultimate Despair Girls, Lego Jurassic World [three weeks] and Stein's Gate) Minecraft has been the Vita No. 1 for the vast majority of the year.

That and its huge sales in Japan (probably well over 500,000 by now) should make it the biggest selling Vita game ever, although no one seems keen to trumpet the fact. Anyway, in UK land it continues to sit proud at the top of the retail chart. Last week's chart here.

1. Minecraft
2. LittleBigPlanet
3. Fifa 15
4. Lego Jurassic World
5. Lego Ninjago

Over on the EU PSN, its the usual mix of sales and new entry Bastion managing to depose Helldivers for once:

1. Metal Slug 3
2. Bastion
3. CoD Declassified
4. Ratchet & Clank Trilogy
5. Helldivers

On Amazon UK, we have the same old situation:

1. Minecraft
2. Fifa 15
3. Lego Jurassic World
4. CoD Declassified
5. Lego Ninjago

Don't expect much to change until Lego Marvel Avengers arrives in January, which should manage decent sales as the Vita version goes open world for the first time.
