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...

Minecraft dominates PSN sales

No surprise who is number one when it came to PSN in November, with the Vita edition proving the most popular, likely by far. But since we don't get any download numbers from Sony (shame the Sony Studios hack didn't pick any of this stuff up), who knows who dominant it really was.

I've just started getting back into Killzone and am pleased to see it at No. 2.

Even if it just reuses scaled-down assets from the PS4 version with new mission goals?

Freedom Wars is doing consistently well, there's a useful comment in the PSN blog post for these numbers, listing all the players across the different ranges. It adds up to 8,500 just about which suggests that's about the best Sony can hope for in sales of big Vita games (excluding people who play exclusively offline). Guessing that's EU only but still pretty grim!
