July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

UK Chart sees Steins Gate travel back in time

While everyone else obsesses over the Division, there's a disturbance in the Vita chart. There must have been a sale somewhere as epic visual novel Steins Gate has popped back into the UK retail chart top 5. What do we reckon, maybe selling about 20 copies to achieve its new lofty position?

1. Minecraft
2. Lego Marvel Avengers
3. Steins Gate
4. Lego Jurassic World
5. Persona 4 Golden

1. FIFA 15
2. Persona 4 Golden
3. Lego Marvel Avengers
4. Minecraft
5. WRC 4 Rally Championship

With the majority of catalogue Vita games now under £20, there's plenty of bargains to be had.

On PSN, its a mix of new and old with Digimon rightfully still tops and Hitman Go sneakily rounding out the top five.

1. Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth (825 ratings)
2. Oddworld New n Tasty (30,782 ratings, CrossBuy)
3. Bastion (812 ratings)
4. Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation (8,717 ratings)
5. Hitman Go Definitive Edition (148 ratings)

Damn, just realised If I'd built a spreadsheet with the number of ratings games got on PSN from launch, we'd have a useful sales metric (okay, I know not everyone rates). I'll do it from this week to see what's moving and gently vibrating.
