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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Vita fans get ready to celebrate the first No. 1 Vita game in Japan. No real surprise here, given the success of the series in Japan, we'll have the exact numbers in a couple of hours and find out if it helped the Vita shift any more units.

This is the Famitsu chart, the Media Create (with sales figures) will be out later today.

UPDATE: Persona 4 sold 137,076 copies, while the Vita sold 34,459 units, a big post-launch record. A new PSP entry saw Akiba's Trip Plus sell nearly 30,000 copies, while Gundam was just out of the Top 10, in 11th with almost another 9,000 sales.


Hopefully Japanese gamers will be cracking open a crate of this tie-in soft drink that was doing the rounds as part of the launch marketing campaign.
