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...

Flower headed to the Vita, but where's Journey?

Flower was pretty and all, and comes some four years after the original to the Vita on the soggy heels of the PSP version of Flow (which was made by a third-party developer, I think). Not sure if Thatgamecompany is involved in this one, since it has finished its developer agreement with Sony. 


It will likely use the Vita's tilt controls to mimic the Sixaxis input and brings its near spiritual gameplay to the handheld's gorgeous screen. But, while its another welcome addition to the console's indie collection, surely the more recent game-of-the-year winning, more high-profile Journey would be a better story at E3?

Hopefully good sales of Flower will open the door for Journey of the Vita.
