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.

Great Edo Blacksmith site opens up its forge

Hopefully someone will tell NIS that there's no capital S in 'BlackSmith', but as long as we get a compelling role-player out of it, I'm not really that worried. Will the lady-bothering elements (its a good job my Twitter following is 92% male) put you off? Guess they'll be toned down for any western release, as with Criminal Girls.
