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.

Sony 10% PSN discount code goes live, delays forecast

In related news, Sony will delay its next corporate figures due to the hack (any excuse to bury bad news I guess). Since everything at Sony is down the toilet except the PS4, I guess things will be even worse than expected. The company will have a conference on 4th Feb to discuss its forecasts, but there will be no hard numbers until the end of March.
