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.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point. Certainly, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than a 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 ...

1 new DANGANRONPA 2: GOODBYE DESPAIR NIS AMERICA - 1
2 KILLZONE: MERCENARY SONY. 4 53
3 FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD REMASTER SQUARE ENIX 2 25
4 BORDERLANDS 2 2K GAMES 3 15
5 DISGAEA 4: A PROMISE REVISITED NIS AMERICA 1 2

Over on Amazon, the live chart sees Minecraft still at No. 1 awaiting a release date while Freedom Wars is jockeying around with Danganronpa for the 2/3 spot. The next major releases are Natural Doctrine and another crappy FIFA update.

1 Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment (New)
2 Assassin’s Creed III Liberation (5)
