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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Vita manages two games in Japanese top 10

In the latest Media Create charts, the Vita sees Dragon's Crown joined by Acquire's Mind 0 which managed a rather limp 15,000 sales but was still enough to see it hit No. 7. Dragon's Crown on Vita sold more than the PS3 version this week, but is still fading fast in physical sales, suggesting Vanillaware's love is being largely enjoyed by downloaders, which saw a roaring trade last week, as the game hit over 300K combined.

07./00. [PSV] Mind/Zero (Acquire) {2013.08.01} (¥6.279) - 15.575 / NEW
09./03. [PSV] Dragon's Crown (Atlus) {2013.07.25} (¥8.190) - 13.772 / 84.855 (-81%)


Mind 0 looked so boring, I'm amazed anyone brought it. The Vita itself managed another 17,000 sales keeping it a distant second behind the all-conquering 3DS. The PSP sold another 6,000 and got its own new entry in the form of Shiratsuyu no Kai.
