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.

Model-Mech-Based PSP Game Beats Out Zelda in Japan

Little Battler Experience (PSP) – 166,187
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time 3D (3DS) – 164,110
Yakuza Of The End (PS3) – 53,775
Steins Gate  (Xbox 360) –  31,666
Steins Gate Double Pack (Xbox 360) – 11,041

Zelda's arrival did do enough to shift the 3DS back to the top of the hardware charts. Also, note that Stein's Gate has done really well on the the Xbox, so hopes will be strong for the PSP visual novel coming soon.
