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 ...

Japanese Vita TV patch lets it stream PS4 content

I gave up tracking PS Vita TV sales some months ago as they bumped along at around 1,000-1,500 sales a week in Japan. Perhaps that number will get a bit of a boost now the cute little box can do what Sony originally advertised and stream PS4 games to other TVs around the home.


I'm not sure how many cramped Japanese homes have room for multiple screens, but its certainly a feature that could go down well in the west, if Sony ever bothered to release it here, an E3 announcement perhaps? For now it remains only on-sale in a few Asian countries, and doesn't import well.
