June 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 .  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.

Dungeon Travelers 2-2 sells well in Japan

In this week's chart, Dungeon Travelers 2-2 from AquaPlus lands at No. 4 as the only Vita game in the top 20, selling 27,381 copies. Famitsu had it as selling 30K copies (60-80% of its shipment).

Out this week in Japan are Akiba's Beat, Exile Election and Gun Gun Pixies and a bunch of visual novels which might dent the chart next week, but No. 1 will very definitely by Mario Kart!


On the hardware side, Vita sales are down to 5,164, continuing a gentle slide down to wherever this ride ends up.  There's still no sign of Sony's for the kids campaign kicking off, but when it comes to the Vita, the company has hardly been in a hurry!
