Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Xperia Play Games Sales Off to a, umm, Slow Start

There haven't been any reports of Xperia Play unit sales, so we imagine its not setting the world on fire, but there are some info on software sales. They are, putting it charitably, on the slow side. Recombu reports that sales are mostly in the hundreds, which is what you expect with the fairly lame line-up of PSone titles.



Sony still seem pretty confident about things but you would have expected some more activity on the press front and in the games line-up, but things seem to have dropped off the radar rather, if it wasn't for Gameloft's range of games, things would look decidedly poorly.

While Sony might be happy, it would be interesting to hear from any XP owners who were expecting a decent supply of PSone games for their device. Are you unhappy with the current line-up, the lack of additions or feel your phone's special features are less than utilised?

Things could get a little better when o2 finally gets around to launching its exclusive white version in the UK June, three months after everyone else. Surely the first sales figures will be out soon, and if it isn't doing too well, hopefully a price drop will be on the horizon. We'll ask around and see if anyone else has any numbers that could help figure out how the PlayStation Phone is doing.
