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 ...

Meet SteamBoy, the portable PC games machine

Ooh, this looks like bad news. But before you panic, Steam boxes seem like a good idea, but none are actually on-sale yet, and most PC gamers are probably gaming happily on their laptops or phones when travelling. Why add another gadget? Assuming this concept ever sees the light of day.

Still, if this has any PC power inside it at all (specs are unknown besides something quad-core) it could easily be great emulator machine and throw open an arcade-style challenge to Sony's handheld. After all, Steam has a massive library of big-name games and pretty much every indie under the sun (except TxK), and open-sourcers could have a field day hacking it to pieces. Keep your eyes peeled for this in 2015, apparently.
