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.

Super Robot Wars leads Vita sales in Japan

05./00. [PSV] Conception II: Shichisei no Michibiki to Mazuru no Akumu <RPG> (Spike Chunsoft) - 18.878 / NEW 

Fun fact, the Vita version of Conception sold nearly four times as much as the 3DS version, suggesting that the Vita is the grown up console in Japan, and the introduction of the 2DS (see last story) may widen that gap, with the likes of Killzone coming to the Vita.
