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 ...

Commence Operation Hatsune Miku crazy marketing

No matter how much of a macho gamer you are, you all really want to get your hands on this reversible Hatsune Miku bag that is part of the marketing effort for the Project Diva 2nd F game, don't you? This and other oddities, including a freakish doll and what I hope is a mouse mat, are all part of Sega's cunning plan to help flog more copies and merchandising.


Not that the game needs much help as it was one of the Vita's best selling titles last year and will likely do just as well, if not better given the Vita's rocketing sales, on launch in February. Anyone else think the west is missing out when it comes to merchandising? I don't mean £9.99 for a mug, £50 for some headphones with a logo or the £80 limited edition with a plastic figure, but the weird and crazy stuff most games in their weird and crazy universes could offer alongside the game at launch.
