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.

Are the Japanese moving from Vita to PS4? Latest Media Create sales

Well, that's not good news. On the last of the quiet weeks for the Japanese games market, PS4 sales are headed up, while Vita sales continue to slide, down to just over 10,500. Dragon Ball: Xenoverse helps shift some PS4s, taking No. 2 in the chart behind the PS3 version in this week's Media Create chart.

The Vita saw the Best of release of Persona 4 Golden shift 3,500 copies and a new Photokana Kiss games sell 9,500 but the PS4 is seeing a momentum shift. This week's releases of Ukiyo Bruno Warriors, Sengoku Musuo 4-II will hopefully see things tick up before next week's big bad arrival of God Eater 2 Rage Burst.

With the Vita already 50,000 sales down on last year's so far, that's a lot of pressure on one game, which will also hit the PS4, which direction will the sales favour? Guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks.
