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.

 As a result Vita sales are down to 14,800 on the week, at the bottom of previous years' ranges. Whatever your views on success of Dancing All Night, its hard to see major developers pushing ahead with big Vita projects if they won't sell massive numbers.
