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.

Also on the way is Snail Games W3D handheld and a whole army of micro-consoles to squish the feeble-selling PlayStation TV - you'd think Sony might want to do something about that,
