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.

Japanese Charts, Yu-gi-oh and Battle Masters Hit for PSP (with video)

The Japanese charts are an odd mix this week with Dark Souls way out in front, Gears of War 3 doing well on Xbox and several classics charting high. On the PSP front, two new Konami games waded into the top 10. A new Yu-Gi-Oh game made the top three, Yu-gi-oh 5D's Tag Force 6 sold 65,000 copies while Busou Shinki Battle Masters Mk.2 sold 32,000.





Elsewhere in the charts, the budget edition of Monster Hunter Portable 3 is also new, but only sold around 15,000 copies, presumably as the whole of Japan already owns it. The PSP itself managed to shift another 28,000 units, not bad for a machine that will be phased out in less than three months.
