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 ...

Vita off to the races in 2014 Japanese sales

Early indications are the Vita sold over 88,000 units in Japan in the first week of 2014, on the back of the Japanese New Year holiday, according to Famitsu sales. On the games front, Final Fantasy X continues to sell well with another 35,000, and is likely sold out around Japan.. But its all downhill from here with only Dragon Ball Battle of Z lighting up January, until March when Hatsune Miku warms up her vocaloid tonsils.

UPDATE: Media Create pegged Vita and Vita TV sales at just over 80,000, so the green bar below slides down a little. Also added the Sony Portable figures at the bottom.


As you can see according to Media Create numbers, the Vita ended the year on a massive near-record high and the green line (upper left) shows momentum carried into 014. Below Vita TV sales remain static at between 5,000 and 6,000 but the PSP got a nice lift to five digits over New Year.
