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 ...

Baseball and Drums Sell Well in Japan (Charts)

The Japanese game charts look colourful this week (guess it must be the silly season there too) with five new entries kicking out the old guard from the top five. Cutesey baseball game Jikkyou and Drum Master from Namco do the biz for the PSP in the top five [Andriasang] while Unchained Rexx hits the Top 10. There are six PSP games in the top 20 with the 3DS sales of StarFox looking surprisingly limp.


[PS3] 1. Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2011 (Konami): 117,759 NEW!
[PSP] 2. Taiko Drum Master Portable DX (Deluxe) (Namco Bandai): 80,215 NEW!
[WII] 3. Inazuma Eleven Strikers (Level 5): 74,227 NEW!
[PSP] 4. Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2011 (Konami): 73,247 NEW!
[NDS] 5. Puyo Puyo!! (Sega): 34,903 NEW!

3DS is back on top of the PSP in the hardware charts, helped by StarFox and a few other new releases, looks like this leap frogging could go on for some time.
