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 ...

This is how Sony will sell Tearaway and the Vita to the world

So far, all Sony's Tearaway videos, screens and reveals have been to entice gamers. But, as the company's only real opportunity to sell the Vita with an exclusive game over the holidays, this is how it will sell Tearaway to the general public. Would that brief clip convince you of the amazing possibilities the Media Molecule game provides? I'm not convinced, but Sony marketing never fails to disappoint me.

I know they only have 30 seconds, but by hyping the tilt and touch features at the expense of the adventure, wonder and papercraft of the game, it looks more like a gimmicky mini-game to me.
