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. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

GameGadget Won't Rival Vita, But Good for Retro Gamers

There's always been a funny little market for unofficial consoles and this GameGadget is the latest to line up alongside the Gizmodo and other oddities. Looking rather Game-and-Watch, it will offer a way to "buy legal and secure downloads of their favourite games through an iTunes style application onto a single portable device."


Gamers and coders also be able to create their own titles, using Linux-based libraries. Using an app store, titles will be easily ported and sold, with a share of the profits of the originals going to the creators. There's no word on the power of the device but for $99 you can get a decent processor and small GPU to handle stuff. Looks like there are shoulder buttons for six button gaming.

Just wonder what level of games developer will sign up for this? You can already get Spectrum, C64 and MegaDrive titles on the iOS and Android, so is it really needed? We'll see. More to the point, how long before it is rooted and running MAME?
