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 ...

Minecraft is the only game selling on Vita in Japan

Minecraft is the only game in town for the Vita this week on the Media Create chart. It still shifts around 3,000 copies a week - slowly approaching 1.2 million physical sales. The Vita itself remains wedged just about the 4,000 sales mark. This week it shifted 4,150 for another slight increase but with no games on the horizon, there's little hope of a big push.

Likely there are a few games in the lower reaches of the chart, and God Wars is out now, along with Tokyo Boys for V, which comes in about five different versions. But everything else is focused on Nintendo's Switch with a slow and steady release schedule of major titles seeing Arms punch north of 100K on launch.
