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 ...

Danganronpa shifts 200K in the west

Think about that, a mad tale of a psychotic murdering bear which is barely interactive and with some highly questionable concepts at its heart. If they can sell 100K each, then why can't a modestly ambitious western title?


The good news is that NIS America plans to concentrate on bringing more visual novels our way, probably not all for the Vita, but at least we should get some out of their efforts. We've also got the likes of Steins;Gate and Code: Realize coming west, making the Vita the top machine for visual  novel fans.
