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 ...

Tokyo Games Show Opens to Public, Vita Star of the Show

Wow, love the clarity of the PS Vita screen and games in motion, rather than the previous direct feed videos I've been posting (clips at the bottom)

Within minutes of the TGS show opening to the public, the lines to go and play the PS Vita were so long that Sony had to ask people to stop queuing, so people could get to the other attractions. Clearly the lack of a Monster Hunter title (so far) isn't stopping the Japanese PSP horde from getting ready to move on.

Here's a pic Tweeted by James Woods:



The no-doubt well-ordered chaos was demonstrated by some tweets:
Sony's Vita hands-on plan was a tragic clusterfuck of a miserable failure. I did get to play Army Corps From Hell at Square Enix's suite tho - Wired's Chris Kohler

With 80 demo machines for people to play with, it shouldn't be too long before the queue starts building again, but its going to be a long time before keen fans get to have a go on the new system. With all the major game announcements done, it looks like Vita will be the star of the show be some distance.

And, those that did get in got to play some of the cracking titles on show, note try them in 720 if possible, fullscreen - awesome:





Just found a Japanese site that has bunch more off-screen videos, easier than me coping them all here.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
