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...

FIFA 15 EA SPORTS 2 7
2 KILLZONE: MERCENARY SONY COMPUTER ENT. 3 62
3 FREEDOM WARS SONY COMPUTER ENT. 1 2
4 UNCHARTED: GOLDEN ABYSS SONY COMPUTER ENT. 6 137
5 FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD REMASTER SQUARE 4 34

The only other new entry was Muppet Movie Adventures at No. 20 suggesting that even kids aren't buying Vita games. With Batman and Minecraft out this and next week, after that it's pure Japanese on the schedule, at which point even having a Vita chart remains pretty much useless.
