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.

Monster Hunter X destroys Japanese Charts, Criminal Girls 2 can't compete

Criminal Girls 2 also sells 15,000 in at No. 8 on the Media Create chart, while Atelier Sophie and Omega Labyrinth are already vanishing out the chart with just over 30,000 each.

On the hardware side, Vita and Vita TV do get a rise up to 15,400, but the "New 3DS LL" sells over 100K, just like that. Can't see next week's Stein's Gate 0 release doing a huge amount to help. All hope lies on Dragon Quest Builder in January it seems.
