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.

Sega showing Phantasy Star Online 2 at TGS, what chance Yakuza on Vita?

Surprises kept firmly under wraps for now, Sega has announced that will be showing off the latest news on Phantasy Star Online 2 for the Vita, plus it will be handling EA's FIFA and Need for Speed titles on the format, perhaps giving us a better look than was seen at Gamescom.

While we can only guess at what, if any, surprises Sega has in store, I have a sneaking suspicion that a Vita Yakuza game might be announced and would love to see one of the recent Out-Runs or Sega Rally titles ported over some rapid-play auto action.

With Sega and other Japanese developers showing a massive focus on mobile titles, it'll be interesting to see if the Vita can make some noise against that tide.
