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.

Japanese weekly sales show Toukiden hanging tough

Vita hardware sales are down around 1,000 to 14,400, but Dragon's Crown should give things a sizeable boost. The PSP is just about 20 weeks of sales away from crossing 20 million units in Japan.
