July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6.

05 Uta no Prince-sama: Amazing Aria & Sweet Serenade Love 19,904
06 Itadaki Street: Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary 18,784

Out this week are visual novel Sengo Muramasa DX and Shin Gundam Musou on budget release.
