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...

Sky TV not bothering with Vita or PS TV either

The app arrives on PS4 now and even the PS3 gets it next year, but somehow watching on the Vita's screen is a big no-no? Sky Sports, Sky Movies and its 70 regular TV channels are free for Sky Multiscreen users or £5 for the Sky Go Extra service, plus on-demand content and download for offline viewing!

I guess Sky remembers the low-turnout it got for the PSP product it offered briefly, but with a more mobile and mature market now, how hard is it to code one streaming app? Guess we'll never see Sky on that lovely OLED!
