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...

Atari 50 Collection Extended Edition

No news on the games or platforms yet, although it'd be great to see more from the Lynx and Jaguar, and *cough* Activision titles, but we live in hope. The themes for the new encyclopedia strands are The Wider World of Atari and The First Console War. This approach to education and information makes Atari 50 more interesting than just ramming a fistful of games and art into a package and calling it a collection. 

Of course, it'd be rude not to mention the upcoming Atari Super Pocket with 50 games and access to the complete Evercade library in the most portable format in gaming.
