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.

And the number of times they share "PlayStation Family" images and forget the portables, don't get me started.

So, bonjour to all my continental chums and congrats to the brave soul at PlayStation who stuck their head above the corporate firewall. 

With Freedom Wars Remastered just out, you'd have thought now would be a good time for a nostalgic tie-in to get people talking about the Vita game, and all the fun we had. But, nah! Since it launched, both Sony and Namco have near-instantly moved on to other things. Okay, the remaster is a multiplatform release, but talk about missing an open goal for some easy love! 

Bonsoir et bonne chance!
