PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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.

  • Toukiden 2 has sold over 250,000 units across Asia with the western release still to come. 

AoT could continue to sell with the anime still winning fans and a new series next year, while Tecmo will be hoping for a good performance from Toukiden 2 in the west from PlayStation owners still deprived of Monster Hunter.

Most importantly, the company's focus on games sales over its weaker mobile division has seen consistent performance over the last five years, with increasing profits. The poor Japanese release for Berserk might dent that a little, but the overall trend is very good for a company focused on core gaming.
Will update if there's any more detail from the various investor calls, or the company feels like sharing some more detail.
