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 ...

Muramasa tops 100,000 in Japan

The remake of the Wii game seems to have found a spiritual home on the Vita with a combined total of downloads and physical copies over 100,000 sales, as announced by the game's Twitter account. As of last week Oboro Muramasa had sold 67,000 boxed copies, so assuming 70,000 by this week, that's 30,000 digital sales, which will make a handy comparison point for how much of the Vita's sales are online-over store-purchased.

And the game is headed west fairly soon, in June thanks to Aksys, so should continue to do the business with lots of good things being said about the lovingly crafted visuals.
