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...

Avengers beats Legend of Heroes in UK Vita chart battle

Yep, two actual retail games came out for the Vita last week, prompting something of an upheaval at the top of the UK chart.


Lego Marvel Avengers grabbed the Vita chart number one spot. As you'd expect, the bunch of super heroes should beat down a group of grumpy, status obsessed, students in any battle. However, Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel (Review) comes a creditable second.

The available on every device imaginable Avengers hits the No. 1 spot in the all-formats chart too, but Vita exclusive Legend of Heroes also manages to creep in at No. 38 in the Full Price chart.

Borderlands 2 seems to have had a good run in recent weeks, dragging it back into the top five, while the usual suspects still lurk.

1. Lego Marvel Avengers Warner
2. LoH: Trails of Cold Steel Falcom
3. Minecraft 4J Studios
4. Borderlands 2 Iron Galaxy
5. FIFA 15 EA Sports.

The Amazon Top Sellers looks pretty similar, but with Persona 4 Golden in the top instead of Borderlands, showing the enduring quality of the game.
