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.

Euro PS Vita Launch "In a Mess"

Then I'd listen to them, they'll know first and I'd imagine then the chain of command would kindly let Sony Europe know when they can launch.

Sure, it won't help developers who might be looking for a few weeks off in summer, but if you wanted long holidays, you really shouldn't be in games development.
