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.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point.

Sony launches white PSP E1000 model for summer

Of course, a few more colour varieties for the PS Vita might be a pressing issue for Sony, with a white model coming to Japan, but Sony clearly thinks if it can get lots of young PSP owners, they might upgrade to Vitas when then time comes.
