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...

Some simple requests ahead of the PlayStation 4 launch

Dear Sony, its obviously too late to change your almighty juggernaut launch just hours before the event, but I hope you had some common sense in among all the blue-sky meetings, strategising and so on.

PS4 Is Not A Revolution

Please don't start off by claiming to have made something God-like for us all to worship. Its a console! It plays games and media, that look a bit better than last-gen. That's it, don't fall for your own hype! Every executive holding up a shiny phone, tablet or pointing at a TV set at any recent launch event has looked a right idiot claiming it to be the "big new thing." And, waiting for the mass applause that never comes (or even worse, starting the clapping and hoping everyone joins in) just makes you look like a dick!

Don't Forget the Vita

Even if its only in some small, logical and useful way, you'd better have linked your two consoles. Otherwise, you will just have killed the Vita. If that's your intention then at least be man enough to say so, especially if phone and tablet support gets a bigger mention.

No Price Cut In A Year

Just sell the thing as cheaply as you possibly can to drive adoption and interest, trying to give things away is tough enough these days, if you over-price PS4 (in the eyes of the buyer) most of us will just wait until that inevitable price cut. If you start selling it for £300 or less, I hope everyone will recognise that there won't be a price cut and jump in early. 

Anything you'd like to say to Sony before Kaz leaps on-stage?
