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 ...

Toukiden 2 takes Tokyo, latest Media Create chart

Okay, this is officially a flat (red) line, Vita sales have remained pretty much the same for the past 10 weeks, hovering around 11,000 sales. Even the arrival of Toukiden 2 this week failed to help shift units, in fact they are down by a couple of hundred on last week.
Koei's latest monster hunter managed to hit No. 4, which suggests there won't be a Toukiden 3 any time soon. On the plus side, the Vita version of Toukiden 2 outsold the PS4 edition by 13,000, with both version selling over 100K combined. Unfortuntaely, The Longest Five Minutes looks like it will be luck to last two weeks in the chart!

04 Toukiden 2 (Koei Tecmo)  - 59.032 / NEW
06 Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana # (Nihon Falcom) - 13.860 / 57.613 (-68%)
19 The Longest 5 Minutes # (Nippon Ichi Software) - 2.767 / NEW

As for hardware sales, it will take a miracle apparent to budge the Vita from this line, surely some new models from Sony need to be forthcoming ahead of any NX news to build a growing trend.
