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. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

Sony's TGS show, a shower of Vita love (hopefully)

Here we go, all eagerly waiting for Sony Japan to support its little Vita. The good news is the little man at the start actually mentioned the Vita.

Watch the whole show rerun here.

Shehui Yoshida is taking the stage.... First up a look at Bloodborne: The Old Hunters from From Software, definitely not a Vita title.


Next, new Everybody's Golf, is it for Vita, is it, is it, is it? Format not specified, from the ever-relibale Clap Hanz. PS4 only by the general reaction.

Finally, some Vita-ness with a peek at more adventures in PSO2, except that too is coming for PS4 in 2016. Wonder if there will be cross play? And will PS4 owners be able to use their PS Vita content?

Here's Bandai to save the day. One Piece: Burning Blood. More fighting action. Also some more Vita 2-on-2 robot battling in the latest Gundam Xtreme.

PS4 PRICE CUT - wonder when that comes west, looks like it is definitely time to upgrade my PS3. Finally, new PS4 and Vita adverts. The Vita one actually showed some games!

Right, I'll track down all the new video clips and get them up for you. A great show thanks to Sony's third party chums, with lots of new games to look forward to. But Sony's lack of homegrown content left a horrible void at the top of the show.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
