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.

Vita sales keep on running through the dead zone

This time last year, Vita sales were attrocious and wouldn't recover for months. In 2014, it really seems to have legs, shedding only 3,500 sales as the releases start to arrive. Yes, its a downward trend, but so is everything else at this time of year (only the PS3 held firm strangely given the imminent PS4 launch).
