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. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

One Million page views, murahahaha

Okay, in the scheme of the Internet, one million views is nothing. Kim Kardasian's arse can manage that in 20 minutes.

But, for a little blog about a platform few outside Japan care about, I don't think that's too bad.

All the effort of little old me and, OF COURSE, the developers and publishers, the Vita family and fans who keep the handheld rolling by buying the games, discussing it, badgering people for ports and generally not letting it die, as Sony would clearly like it to!


I've been writing a few posts a day since the PSP era, and on some good days 10 or more stories as games come in, new support arrives and some developers bow out, or Sony tries to hamstring the Vita in another way.

Now I look to the future. Beyond 2017, the major releases will likely dry up, but with indies, translation specialists, home brewers and others keeping it going, I suspect the Vita to be around until at least 2020 and maybe beyond. Pretty sure my trusty launch day until will have popped its clogs by then, so add at least one more unit to the hardware sales column.



As the news dies down, this blog might not get to 10,000 posts, or ever reach 2 million views. However, I look forward to clinging on to my little Vita, the provider of so much gaming joy, and hope you'll all stick around for the ride.

Many thanks! PSVR
