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.

Hopefully the grand unveil in January, won't be dragged out by pointless slow-drip character reveals. And Netherrealm will keep up with the ridiculous fatalities, but basically, just give us the game we love with some new stuff.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
