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.

Evercade handheld launching soon, picks up 17 Lynx games

The £60-£80 unit lands in April (update, moved to May likely due to Coronavirus, may move further). It brings all sorts of classic fun to a new generation of gamers and connects to TVs via HDMI, just like the Vita should have done.

The Lynx games include Scrapyard Dog, Basketbrawl, Super Asteroids/Missile Command®, Awesome Golf, Crystal Mines II: Buried Treasure, Dracula the Undead, Malibu Bikini Volleyball and some later indie releases. But no RoadBlasters, which was probably Atari's finest game on the Lynx.



Other cards will include collections from DataEast, Namco, Technos and many more, and at a decent price compared to some of the arcade collections available on PS1, PSP and Vita, it looks like a solid investment.
