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...

With Phantasy Star Online 2 coming to Vita, what other MMOs could make the switch?

With Sega manfully promising to cram all of Phantasy Star Online 2's content from the PC to the Vita, there is clearly not much of a limit (other than man power, time and cranky code bases) on getting others working on Sony's handheld. With Dust 514 also headed the Vita's way (eventually), and with more traditional titles like NC Soft's Guild Wars 2 coming to consoles, what others would you like to see on the Vita.

With constant rumours of an Elder Scrolls MMO, perhaps Bethesda could make up for not bringing a title to the PSP with a Vita version to play alongside the PS3 version? The company is also supposed to be doing a Fallout MMO, which again would be awesome.

Dipping into the past, there are many classics that could see a new lease of life on the Vita. I love Anarchy Online (pictured) which has a bit of a Deus Ex about it, now 11 years old, games like these could find more friends on new formats.

I suppose most folk would like to see World of Warcraft go portable, but I suspect Blizzard has bigger things to worry about. The same is likely with any Final Fantasy MMO, although Square has more history with Sony, so perhaps. What would you like to see cross over from the world of MMOs to the small screen?
