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...

Vita sold a million in Japan over 2015

The Vita just made it over the 1 million line in the last week of Japan's year, according to Media Create sales figures. The Vita sold over 74,000 in the holiday week, outselling the PS4 and around the fourth best week of sales since the handhelds launch in 2011.

Globally, Sony just announced it sold 5.7 million units during the 2015 holiday season, reaching 35.9 million units globally as of January 3, 2016.


The Vita sold 1,005,000 more or less down 160K on 2014, and 200K less than the rising PS4 in 2015, but still a number that's pretty significant.

It also outsold all the 3DS models except the new 3DSLL, which managed 1.5 million. As usual, there will be a rapid dive across January, but expect Dragon Quest Builders at the end of the month, and Kan Colle Kai and DoA Extreme 3 in February to help shift big numbers early in the year.

One question, what could should 2016's chart line be?
