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 ...

World of Final Fantasy tops UK Vita chart in new release rampage

Proving that retail sales do still happen and matter for the Vita, new releases kick out the usual suspects in the latest chart. WoFF hits No. 1 with word of sell outs among many stores, which is impressive, or Square only produced a few thousand units.

There are three new entries and Valkyrie Drive goes up the chart - something that rarely happens in Vita land.

1. World of Final Fantasy (Square) NEW
2. Root Letter (PQube) NEW
3. Minecraft (Mojang) Non-mover
4. Yomawari (NIS) NEW
5. Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhumi (PQube) Up from No. 6 

None of them have the chops to break into the individual format chart, but WoFF hits the all-formats chart at No. 11 counting both Vita and PS4 sales.

Will update the PSN chart when Sony bothers to crunch the numbers for that. Here we go (as of Friday):

1. Dragon Quest Builders
2. Darkest Dungeon
3. Odin Sphere
4. Oddword New n Tasty
5. Need for Speed Most Wanted
6. LoH: Trails of Cold Steel

Over on Amazon UK, WoFF tops the chart with Valkyrie Drive at No. 3 and Root Letter in at No. 6.
