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 ...

Liar Princess and the Blind Prince stumble into the Japanese chart

The latest Media Create chart sees a pretty-much honours-even battle, given the disparity in user base. That's as Liar Princess and the Blind Prince manages to sell just over 6,400 each on the PS4 at No. 10 and the Switch at No. 11 in the latest chart, with the Vita version not far behind at 4,500 sales.

As PS4 sells about 6X as many consoles and Switch a whopping 20X many units per week, that's not bad at all. Digital sales could be quite high for this cutely dark adventure, hope to see some word from Nippon Ichi soon.


On the hardware front, Vita sales remain locked in the low 2Ks, nudging up 100 but nothing to write home about. Still, rather have them creeping up slowly than continuing to drift down. Out this week is Fate/Extella Link, which should do some bigger business on all formats.


As for last week's Persona new entries, all gone, poof! Suspect that's the end of that spin-off idea!
