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.

Japan's games sales see Persona 4 and the Vita rock on

5. Tokyo Jungle PS3
On the hardware front, the Vita managed to shift another 13,589 units which, while well down on last week, is well up on the previous weeks' performances. Hopefully MGS will give it a neat little punt, but Persona proved that the Vita can sell with the right games, now its up to Sony and other developers to deliver them. Perhaps the PS Heaven event, expected tomorrow, will show the way?
