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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool.

Monster Hunter X destroys Japanese Charts, Criminal Girls 2 can't compete

While Monster Hunter X sells 1.5 million on launch, Japanese Vita gamers will have to make do with Neptunia War vs Sega Hard girls, selling some 100 times less at 15K at No. 6. Criminal Girls 2 also sells 15,000 in at No. 8 on the Media Create chart, while Atelier Sophie and Omega Labyrinth are already vanishing out the chart with just over 30,000 each.

On the hardware side, Vita and Vita TV do get a rise up to 15,400, but the "New 3DS LL" sells over 100K, just like that. Can't see next week's Stein's Gate 0 release doing a huge amount to help. All hope lies on Dragon Quest Builder in January it seems.
