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. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

Sony teasing the reveal of something new for PlayStation

Common sense says this has less than 0.1% chance of being a new Vita, but just in case, I'll put this here. Most likely it isn't something "new" at all, but some random PS4 bundle, it looks very sports car, os Gran Turismo GT Sports? Or possibly, a PS4/PSVR package or an even cheaper PS4 Slim design.

UPDATE: As expected, just a new Gran Turismo Sport LE, pretty but hardly new. However, I hope Sony noted all the requests for a new Vita in the comments of the original post. There is still much love.

For actually "new" it could be a hardware extender, augmented gaming kit, a breakout box or external storage option, there are many things it could be, but would they really be teased like this?

But, just in case Sony wants to go toe-to-toe with Nintendo Switch, then there's always that faintest of hopes for a Vita Pro or PlayStation 4 Portable Player. Guess we'll find out at one of Sony's upcoming events. Anyway, definitely none of them, whatsoever, obviously!

Sony isn't officially at Gamescom beyond a booth, and Paris Games Week is at the beginning of November, so I'd expect an out-of-sequence reveal to stand apart from all the other news. Since there's no timer on reveal, stay tuned!
