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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Rugby 15 gets into the chart scrum

Not much movement at the top of the chart this week, but Bigben, the publisher of the upcoming WRC 15 makes a decent dent in proceedings, landing at No. 5 with its Rugby 15 title. That neatly launches ahead of the Six Nations and this year's Rugby World Cup. The game lands at No. 8 in the all formats, so we're hopefully seeing the rise of a new publisher to support middle-ranking games.

1 = MINECRAFT: PLAYSTATION EDITION 1 11
2 = FIFA 15 EA SPORTS 2 18
3 = KILLZONE: MERCENARY SONY 3 73
4 = LEGO BATMAN 3: BEYOND GOTHAM WARNER 4 11
5 = LITTLEBIGPLANET MARVEL SUPERHERO EDITION SONY 5 9
6 new RUGBY 15 BIG BEN - 1
7 = LEGO MARVEL SUPER HEROES WARNER 7 62
8 + FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD REMASTER SQUARE ENIX 15 43
9 re PERSONA 4 GOLDEN NIS AMERICA - 53
10 - BORDERLANDS 2

A quick squint at the EU PSN store Top Sellers shows a nice variety of games, and as things go increasingly digital, I maintain my call for Sony to start showing some numbers for these to keep the Vita relevant:

1 Minecraft
2 Atelier Ayesha
3 Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragfemnt
4 Danganronpa : TTH
5 Unfinished Swan
