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...

Latest UK retail Vita chart (a one off for 2019)

Its the most meaningless chart in existence, and I'll only run it once in 2019, as its a quiet start to the year. But, here's what's selling in UK retail land on the Vita, perhaps a dozen retail copies each? maybe more for the recent Muv Luv releases.

Given that most Vita game sales are second-hand these days, not sure what the point of collecting the data is, but here we go:

  1. Meiq: Labyrinth Of Death         Idea Factory 
  2. Call Of Duty: Black Ops Declassified      Activision    
  3. Xblaze Code: Embryo     Funbox 
  4. Metal Gear Solid HD Collection     Konami       
  5. LEGO Marvel Avengers    Warner 
  6. Muv-Luv     PQube 
  7. Muv-Luv Alternative       PQube 
  8. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair      NIS America 
  9. Chaos;Child      PQube 
  10. World Of Final Fantasy   Square Enix 
Looking further into the future, I wonder if the LEGO Hobbit and Lord of the Rings games will pop back up the chart soon as the PSN versions have vanished? Check out the Japanese chart data for more meaningful numbers.
