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...

Minecraft still dominates the UK Vita chart

Apart from the odd week where a big new entry arrives (Persona 4 DAN, Danganronpa Ultimate Despair Girls, Lego Jurassic World [three weeks] and Stein's Gate) Minecraft has been the Vita No. 1 for the vast majority of the year.

That and its huge sales in Japan (probably well over 500,000 by now) should make it the biggest selling Vita game ever, although no one seems keen to trumpet the fact. Anyway, in UK land it continues to sit proud at the top of the retail chart. Last week's chart here.

1. Minecraft
2. LittleBigPlanet
3. Fifa 15
4. Lego Jurassic World
5. Lego Ninjago

Over on the EU PSN, its the usual mix of sales and new entry Bastion managing to depose Helldivers for once:

1. Metal Slug 3
2. Bastion
3. CoD Declassified
4. Ratchet & Clank Trilogy
5. Helldivers

On Amazon UK, we have the same old situation:

1. Minecraft
2. Fifa 15
3. Lego Jurassic World
4. CoD Declassified
5. Lego Ninjago

Don't expect much to change until Lego Marvel Avengers arrives in January, which should manage decent sales as the Vita version goes open world for the first time.
