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 ...

Luminous Arc Infinity lights up the Japanese Chart

While nothing is going to stop that Animal Crossing, Yokai Watch combo at the top on 3DS, the Vita does manage the highest new entry in the Japanese Media Create chart at No. 5 with Marvelous' Luminous Arc Infinity.

Further down Gal Gun on Vita outsells the PS4 version by 700 copies but Ray Gigant has vanished instantly after a poor start on last week's chart.

 No time for the little sales chart right now, but Vita hardware sales are down a few hundred, seemingly to live forever behind the PS4 now and being menaced by the Wii U.
