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...

Dragon's Crown hangs in there in the Japanese Chart, Vita sales steady

No new entries for the Vita this week, with Sega's Yakuza HD port failing to make a splash for the Wii U.



The Vita sold another 17,600 which is flat (not surprising given the lack of major releases since Dragon's Crown) but basically double what it was selling last year. Last week's details here, Mind Zero has vanished pretty quickly. The PSP is about six weeks of sales away (still doing 6,000 a week) from hitting the 20 million mark, hope Sony is ready to celebrate.
