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.

Tales of Hearts R is in at two, while Batman 3 (without the DLC thanks to cheapskates Warner) manages to dislodge Killzone but not FIFA.

UPDATE: On its own the Vita version of Minecraft managed to make it into No. 15 in the individual formats chart, an impressive achievement, given there are three FIFA 15s and four CoDs ahead of it. (Make it No. 8 if you strip out the duplicates.)
