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 ...

Japanese games sales Monster Hunted to death, PSP nears 20 million units

Here's the latest Media Create sales out of Japan and as the whole nation is apparently out Monster Hunting, no one could be bothered to go out.

01./01. [3DS] Monster Hunter 4 # (Capcom)  473.739 / 2.188.799 (-72%)
02./00. [PSV] Yahari Game Demo Ore no Seishun Love Kome Hamachi Gatteiru. (5pb.) 16.469 / NEW
...
10./00. [PSP] La Corda d'Oro 3: Full Voice Special # (Koei Tecmo) 7.062 / NEW
11./03. [PSP] Brothers Conflict: Brilliant Blue # (Idea Factory)  6.865 / 22.162 (-55%)

 Vita sales continue to slide, down to 5,100 as gamers wait for the new models (I and Sony hope), only a few ahead of the venerable PSP. The old stager should hit 20 million sales in Japan next week, surely worthy of some celebration Sony?
