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.

On the hardware side, the new Vita starter kits had a modest impact on sales, up to just under 30,000 for the week.


Elsewhere in the latest Famitsu reviews, Digimon World: Next Order top scored scored 8/8/9/8, which suggests hot sales for the reinvigorated series.
