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.

Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune Vs Zombies hits UK No. 1

The UK Vita retail chart doesn't need many sales for a game to hit No. 1. I have no idea how few such a niche game with a terrible title managed, but all hail Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune Vs Zombies from Idea Factory, Compile Heart and Tamsoft.


What do we reckon, 100 to 300 retail sales? How much long will any publisher continue to put games on shelves, perhaps opting for own-store retail limited editions or pre-order to publish schemes like Limited Run. Or, they'll go all digital and that's out lot for the little blue cases.

Hopefully Severed sold well enough in its first weeks to make DrinkBox feel it was worth the effort, although only 179 ratings suggest it didn't go mental.

1. Neverending Nightmares
2. Corridor Z
3. Azkend 2
4. Ray Gigant
5. The Sun and the Moon
6. Severed
7. Aegis of Earth
8. Risk of Rain
9. Axiom Verge
10. Samurai Warriors 4 Empires

God Eater 2 is already atop the Amazon UK Vita top sellers thanks to hefty pre-orders, among a mix of oldies with Megatagmension only making into just into the top 10.
