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.

Aqua Astro Kitty will have a 1,500 unit production run, giving us a decent chance of bagging a copy, with the soundtrack CD and a neat set of stickers adding to the package. Joseph Calabro's Takotan has a 1,200 unit production run and both games go up for pre-order this Thursday. 

Interestingly, EAS doesn't have the usual "that's all for Vita this month comment, so there could be more news soon. They do mention "we appreciate the PS Vita community continuing to support physical releases in 2021, and rest assured that we still have plenty of games pre-produced to fill the remainder of this very exciting year!"
