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.

Sony's Vita Design Team Interviewed

The Sony Blog (Japan) has been updated with interviews with some of the team responsible for designing and building the PS Vita and its software.

"There were many ideas about the logo, I decided to use the same font for the PS3 and get a sense of family."


"The screen also has a very wide viewing angle to it, and I think the best combinations of gyro and acceleration sensors. It does not have residual delays and there is no problem (with movement) as I can play while moving the body."
