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 TV creeping outside the homeland

While sales may have fallen to niche status in Japan after the opening week, Sony will be looking to other territories to boost take-up of the screen-less Vita. It goes onsale in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and The Philippines early next year and will likely head west when the Vita 2000 arrives, I'm still guessing end of February for that. 


Again, the big question will be where are the games that will help sell it? Sony has Soul Sacrifice Delta and Freedom Wars on the way, but aside from a new Hatsune Miku the list looks pretty bare.
