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 .  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.

The big-screen version sold 33K at No. 1 over the Vita's 22K at No. 3.

That's still ahead of the latest 3DS model, Vita should do better next week with the new slightly cheaper Starter Kit out. There's also three decent games out tomorrow in Japan including Is the Order A Rabbit? (5pb.) Gundam Breaker (Bandai) and March Atelier Shailie Plus (Gust).

The badly bugged Kan Colle Kai dropped like a stone from No. 1 to No. 7, while Attack on Titan sold another 22K to move up to 84,000 over two weeks.
