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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

Capcom's Street Fighter IV-related fighting games use a special engine and Ono and his team believe the Vita version will achieve 60FPS. "In moving this to the Vita there will be a lot of adjustments and ways for us to figure out how to get it as good as it can on there. Obviously, with a portable system, no matter how powerful it is, there's clock speed and battery life – all sorts of things to consider.

I suppose more importantly, will there be cross-console play? Now, that would be awesome!
