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...

Dragon's Crown, not that valuable in Japan?

Combined, Dragon's Crown on the PS3 and Vita sold 175,000 but that lagged behind the latest Pheonix Wright adventure for the 3DS.

While on the hardware front, it looks like DC help shift another 5,000 odd Vita consoles as the format hit 19,866 sales for the week. More than it does across most of Europe in a month!, if some national figures are to be believed.

02./00. [PS3] Dragon's Crown (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 104.359 / NEW
03./00. [PSV] Dragon's Crown (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 71.083 / NEW
17./07. [PSV] Toukiden # (Koei Tecmo) {2013.06.27} (¥6.090) - 8.253 / 208.170 (-36%)

 To celebrate the game's imminent U.S. release, there's a new trailer, Europe stand by to import like the good old days.
