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 ...

One Piece Burning Blood dies on its arse at retail

Ouch, the only sign of Bandai's latest is sneaking into the laughably weak UK retail Vita chart. One Piece Burning Blood can't quite topple Minecraft off the top, but at least it made an appearance, as neither the Xbox One or PS4 versions show up on any chart - weird! And overall, it only crept into the top 40 at No. 37.



Hopefully it will show up better on digital sales, will update with the PSN Vita Top Sellers when that show's this week's data. Then again, it only has three ratings, which doesn't sound like massive sales compared to Downwell's 140!

Otherwise Amazon's Amazon Best Sellers list for Vita is a whole bunch of jumbled with Persona 4 DAN the only recent game in the top 10, and God Eater 2 pre-orders ticking over nicely. One Piece is down at 18 for Vita and only no. 89 on PS4, which suggests Bandai screwed up its marketing or nobody likes One Piece brawlers that much.
