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.

Ayaneo lining up a limited edition Pocket DMG

Not long after the Evercade Kith LE, we have Ayaneo warming up for a livestream tomorrow to show off what appears to be a shiny metal version of the Pocket DMG. Billed as a Bright Silver exclusive limited edition, it looks impressive, but only die-hard collectors or those new to the brand will likely shell out for it. 


There are various specifications in the family, with DroiX putting a £30 premium (provisionally) for just under £350 on the new silver model. Ayaneo positioned the DMG as a super-charged Game Boy style device, but capable of playing pretty much anything in your retro archive. 

US prices are $399 early bird for the 8GB+128GB model (soon to be $449), and $419EB, later $529 for the 12GB+256GM model. 

Features include:

Snapdragon G3x Gen 2
3.92" OLED Display, 6000mAh battery
Left joystick + touchpad and Magic Switch scroll wheel
Coastline shoulder buttons

The originals were available in black or white plastic cases, so this is a posh edition, but there seems little need to upgrade the power or storage. 

Retroid's Pocket Classic 6 is a neat budget option, with Sega Saturn styling, if you're not in need of all that power, with more front buttons for around £150. 

The Classic 6 has a weaker Snapdragon G1 Gen 2 octa-core processor compared to the DMG's Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, but again, that's insane power for a dinky portable. Check out the full reveal tomorrow.
