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.

Vita sales flat in Japan as Taiko no Tatsujin drums into the charts

Bandai's Taiko no Tatsujin (Drum Master) is the only big entry for the Vita this week in Japan, tapping away at No. 3 with just over 46,000 sales. That's way below the 3DS big hitting duo of a new YoKai Watch and Phoenix Wright, but not bad for a near casual title.

01./00. [3DS] Yo-Kai Watch Busters: Red Cat Team / White Dog Squad (Level 5) - 693.538 / NEW
02./00. [3DS] Great Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - (Capcom)  135.690 / NEW
03./00. [PSV] Taiko no Tatsujin: V Version (Bandai Namco) - 46.101 / NEW

Minecraft sticks in the top 10 for the Vita, shifting another 11,000 plus, and now almost at 250,000 boxed copies. You can see why Square are so keen on their Dragon Quest Builders game. All that action helps the Vita shift another 14,250-ish units in Japan, just down on last week's numbers.
