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.

US Hardware Sales - Everything Down #PSP Plummets

  1. Xbox 360 - 378,773
  2. Wii - 294,017
  3. Nintendo DS(i) - 279,268
  4. PlayStation 3 - 159,941
