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. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

Legend of Heroes and One Piece crash the Japanese chart as Vita sales rise

Vita sales perked up in Japan last week, spiced up by a couple of new releases, the new Legend of Heroes and One Piece games. Vita sold 14,735 units (including 1,436 Vita TV sales) according to Media Create.

05./00. [PSV] The Legend of Heroes: Ao no Kiseki Evolution # (Kadokawa Shoten) - 19.659 / NEW 
07./00. [PSV] One Piece: Unlimited World Red (Bandai Namco Games) - 10.348 / NEW 

 The modest sales of these new entries isn't great news (although One Piece also launched on PS3 and WiiU, splitting sales). The last Legend of Heroes title sold 100,000 copies eventually, so this seems like a rather weak addition to the series. Then again, Famitsu's numbers have it at 26,000 sales, so perhaps MC is a bit off.
