PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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.

New Evercade hardware coming, arcade ports later

In related news, Evercade is also promising that arcade originals will start launching for the handheld later this year. All of which adds up to an exciting rest of the year for owners after a relatively quiet start to 2021, not helped by a few small delays. 

The last news was the first few games for the upcoming Intellivision cart. But in Evercade-land that doesn't really matter, we have over 200 games to play, no downloads, loading times or panicking a digital store will vanish!
