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...

Actual new entries in the UK Vita chart

Aquaplus' RPG Dungeon Travelers 2 breaks up the slumber of the Vita UK retail chart with a No. 3 entry that probably means it sold about 202 copies. To be fair, it only sold around 20,000 in Japan - so 1%, yay! Try the free demo on PSN if you want to give this a spin.

In at No. 5 is WRC 5 from Big Ben, which might just have managed 146 sales (guessing wildly here). A shame the series has moved developers from Milestone, and that they stopped working on MotoGP on Vita, which could have sold decent numbers given the cracking season coming to a nail-biting climax.

1. MINECRAFT: PLAYSTATION EDITION (4J STUDIOS)
2. FIFA 15 EA CANADA EA SPORTS (EA)
3. DUNGEON TRAVELERS 2: THE ROYAL LIBRARY (STING)
4. LEGO JURASSIC WORLD TRAVELLER'S TALES (WARNER)
5. WRC 5 KYLOTONN (BIG BEN, UBISOFT)

Who really knows, since the numbers never get published due to the feeble pressure of publishers, and with digital sales these could all be in the gazillions! Minecraft continues its dogged possession of No. 1, perhaps Persona 4 Dancing All Night can nobble it in a few weeks.
