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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement.

PSP2 connectivity, will Qriocity be huge?

Given that it was added to PSP and PS3 recently, plus Bravia TVs and other devices, it looks like this is Sony's iTunes - done bigstyle unlike its previous media disasters that have been the niche of the niche and quietly shut down.
