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...

God Eater Resurrection sells 125K on Vita in Japan

The latest Media Create chart is out in Japan, and, as expected, God Eater Resurrection on Vita dominates, selling 125,876 copies, over 100K more than the PS4 version in at No. 2.

01./00. [PSV] God Eater: Resurrection (Bandai) - 125.876 / NEW
02./00. [PS4] God Eater: Resurrection # (Bandai) - 25.700 / NEW
03./00. [PSV] Yomawari (Nippon Ichi) - 22.472 / NEW


Even then, as a remake, GE:R is well down on previous versions that hit the PSP and Vita. 

Vita sales are up over a thousand, but it looks like very solid PS4 sales will trump anything the Vita can come up with. The next big sales week for the Vita is the 19th November with Atelier Sophie, Omega Labyrinth, Airship Q and Grand Kingdom all arriving.
