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 ...

Disgaea 4 kids its way into the new Japanese chart

File under "hmm" as the first raft of new entries for 2014 sees some strange returns for big names, with Disgaea 4 shifting 33,000 copies. That's still up on the 20,000 that D3 managed during the Vita launch, but it seems like a series that should do better, given the Vita's now more-sizable user base.

The Vita itself managed a creditable 22,250-ish sales on the week, basically flat and keeping up 2014's much improved performance, still over double last year's sales. The VitaTV? Best not to ask, pretty figures to follow.
