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 ...

THQ Will Develop for NGP

Over the weekend, THQ confirmed that it will be developing for the NGP. With the launch still a way off, the company hasn't announced any firm plans but looks to be putting some effort behind the new portable.

With the NGP's power, all games are a shoe-in in terms of capability, but for the NGP's pick-up-and-play appeal, a WWE wrestling game would have to be top of the heap. Apart from the mighty Warhammer, THQ's PSP line up otherwise consisted of a few film tie-ins and racing games.

THQ definitely needs to up its game in that respect, but as the company is renowned for supporting devices long into their pension, don't expect radical moves too early in the NGP's life. Still, having just undergone a big rebranding exercise, perhaps the new THQ will be a braver outfit with experimental games and new IP, you never know!
