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. 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...

Minecraft Vita has sold a million in Japan

With boxed sales at over 750,000 according to Media Create, some basic maths says that 250,000 copies (at least) have been downloaded, as Japan celebrates the portable version of Mojang's block building fun-fest hitting the million mark.

The game got a physical release months after the digital launch, so the red bars will be boxed sales, which have kept the game in the Japanese top 10 pretty much since launch. Congrats to Mojang, although Sony must be furious that someone is showing positive Vita sales figures!


Note, these are Famitsu numbers, which put sales at 1,001,468 by the end of April. The PS3 and PS4 versions have sold around 644,000 between them. Apparently this if the first Vita game to hit a million in Japan, so it probably gets a nice Sony award at the end of year - not bad for a Microsoft game :)
