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 ...

Media Create sales snooze on in Japan

The hardware sales continue to drift down as Japan waits to see what impact the Nintendo Switch will have. On the Media Create chart, Vita sales dive to below 10K at 9, 626. And there's no Vita action with only Danganronpa V3 sticking around the top 10 and has sold double the PS4's number.

Last week's high entry, Uta no Prince-sama Repeat Love, dives into the low-teens, but still sold another 4,000 - taking it to 33K, not bad for a VN. There's not much out this week to drive sales, but Diabolik Lovers: Lost Eden, Ys Origin and Super Robot Taisen V roll out over the coming fortnight.


Over in this week's Famitsu, the latest scores are out with:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII + Power-Up Kit  – 9/8/9/9 [35]
Diabolik Lovers: Lost Eden – 8/8/8/9 [33]
Nidhogg – 7/7/6/7 [27]
