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...

UK PS Vita Chart: Uncharted finds some buried sales to dethrone Mortal Kombat

Mortal Kombat managed two weeks at the top of the chart before the Vita's dynamic duo could finally dislodge it. Things will get a little more lively in the next few weeks with Resistance: Burning Skies, Metal Gear HD, Gravity Rush and Doctor Who all demanding your cash.

1 ^ Uncharted: Golden Abyss
2 - FIFA Football
3 Mortal Kombat
4 - Rayman Origins
5 - Unit 13

Interesting to note that Rayman on the Vita accounts for 21% of the games overall sales on the all-formats chart. Not huge, but still valuable income for Ubisoft. Play spot the difference with last week's chart. Leisure software charts compiled by Chart Track, (C)2012 UKIE Ltd UKIE.

On the PSN store, the top downloads are:

1 Mortal Kombat
2  MotorStorm RC
3 Escape Plan
4 Pure Chess
5 Plants vs. Zombies
6. Mutant Blobs Attack
7 Super Stardust Delta
8 Hustle Kings
9 Unit 13
10 Rayman Origins

Clearly Vita users are taking advantage of the store for the better value downloads, and good to see we're ignoring the dross that lurks on the store. A shame there's no minis chart to see how Velocity is doing.
