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...

History: Legends of War, a footnote in the UK Vita chart

Ouch! Not only is an early Vita title back at No.1 but its the cheapest boxed-game in Vita-dom. As if that's not a pretty grim indicator of Vita releases and sales overall, a decent new game, Slitherine's Legends of War only manages to make in at No. 20. Still it'll all be better in a couple of weeks :).

Then again, having played Virtua Tennis for a bit recently, you have to see the appeal, loads of fun mini-games, compelling world tour mode with online and plenty of trophies, it is pretty much the perfect portable title.

To be fair, with a £40+ price tag (UPDATE: Now down to £33, that was quick), many gamers might be waiting until the price drops a bit for this one, and it hasn't exactly been visible from a marketing perspective . Still, the very similar Patton game on the PSP was pretty good and this a rare breed of the Vita (video here), so please pick it up, when you think the price is right.
