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 ...

Hatsune Miku has sold 2.5 million copies in five years

Yep, five years ago today, the vocaloid popstrel first appeared on the PSP in Japan. And, in the eight games extending across various formats up the the latest 2nd F version on the Vita, she has sold an impressive 2.5 million games. With the Vita and PS3 versions now in the west, or heading west in the case of the latest 2nd F game, that number should only grow as Ms. Miku gains more fans over here (although a little marketing wouldn't help Sega).


There's going to be a big party in Japan at Tokyo Joyopolis, and expect plenty of extra content across the games. Will there be an announcement of a third major title? Guess we'll find out soon enough. No sales figures for individual games, but the PSP titles were around 400, 000 each and Vita titles should have easily sold 200,000+ by now.
