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.

PS Vita sales rise in Japan on new colours and Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation

The new colour editions of the PS Vita have given it a useful boost in Japan with the sales of 13,091, beating out the PSP's 12,217 according to Media Create figures. Even combined that's less than a quarter of this week's 3DS sales, just for perspective.



The new Sapphire Blue model and a red unit were helped by the arrival of Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation which sold almost 25,000 copies, not bad for a western game in Japan. The Vita was down to under 5,000 last week, and will probably by back in four-digit figures next week, but every little helps!
