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.

Media Create sales snooze on in Japan

There's not much out this week to drive sales, but Diabolik Lovers: Lost Eden, Ys Origin and Super Robot Taisen V roll out over the coming fortnight.


Over in this week's Famitsu, the latest scores are out with:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII + Power-Up Kit  – 9/8/9/9 [35]
Diabolik Lovers: Lost Eden – 8/8/8/9 [33]
Nidhogg – 7/7/6/7 [27]


Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
