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.

Update: the other Tales of... game, Innocence R is also getting a demo. With the full game out next week, it'll have to arrive really quickly to be of value or will perhaps be used to tempt those who don't rush out and buy the it, which considering the game should be the Vita's first No. 1, won't be many.
