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.

Destination PlayStation to reveal Vita goodies?

A whole bunch of good stuff is expected to be unveiled by Sony at this week's Destination PlayStation event for games retailers (we're a couple of days in already, in fact the general session was yesterday - so any leaking news should be making its way out now).

Screw diluting the brand or the experience, as marketers will no doubt whine. Gamers will only get a Vita if it has the big name titles in all spheres, not just become a poor second cousin like the PSP did.
