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...

Digimon sells 76K on launch

The latest Media Create chart is out in Japan and in a busy week, Bandai's Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth slots in at No. 3 selling 76,760 copies (over 90% of shipped copies), making it the most popular Digimon launch yet. It arrives behind Yakuza 0 on PS3 and PS4, and hopefully this success will help push it to a western release.

In at No. 4 is a PSP otome game (of all things) Song of Prince Sana "Utapri" from Brocolli. Down the list God Eater 2 Rage Burst is just a smidge off (and now probably past) 300,000 sales!

Vita sales nudged up a few hundred to just below 21,000 on the week (still ahead of the new 3DS LL) with Winning Post (selling just 6,000) and a couple of other games out. This week sees Pirate Warriors 3 and a bunch of others out so expect a bigger rise next week.
