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 .  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.

Latest Media Create chart and Famitsu scores

In the Media Create chart, it managed 2,967 on Switch at No. 15, 2,649 on PS4 and failed to chart on Vita, but I'd guess around 1,200-1,500.

With combined retail sales of around 7,000, digital is more than 66% of typical sales now, which is impressive. Retails sales were poor compared to the previous release, Future Past, where it managed 5K each on PS4 and Vita. A western release for The Complete Legend for Switch is confirmed, but nothing for the Vita.  Still, we can just go play God Wars: Future Past.



Hardware sales fall, with Vita dropping back down to just above the 3K mark after a perky boost last time out. That takes it to over 100,000 for the year as we near the halfway point.



Check out last week's figures. Over in Famitsu land, a couple more PS Vita visual novels get well-rated in a quiet week for new titles.
