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...

UK Chart sees Steins Gate travel back in time

While everyone else obsesses over the Division, there's a disturbance in the Vita chart. There must have been a sale somewhere as epic visual novel Steins Gate has popped back into the UK retail chart top 5. What do we reckon, maybe selling about 20 copies to achieve its new lofty position?

1. Minecraft
2. Lego Marvel Avengers
3. Steins Gate
4. Lego Jurassic World
5. Persona 4 Golden

Over on Amazon UK, FIFA 15 is tops, despite rapidly falling out of date, presumably as the football season comes stampeding to a climax. Perhaps WRC4 is getting a boost from the Mexico Rally too!

1. FIFA 15
2. Persona 4 Golden
3. Lego Marvel Avengers
4. Minecraft
5. WRC 4 Rally Championship

With the majority of catalogue Vita games now under £20, there's plenty of bargains to be had.

On PSN, its a mix of new and old with Digimon rightfully still tops and Hitman Go sneakily rounding out the top five.

1. Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth (825 ratings)
2. Oddworld New n Tasty (30,782 ratings, CrossBuy)
3. Bastion (812 ratings)
4. Assassin's Creed 3 Liberation (8,717 ratings)
5. Hitman Go Definitive Edition (148 ratings)

Damn, just realised If I'd built a spreadsheet with the number of ratings games got on PSN from launch, we'd have a useful sales metric (okay, I know not everyone rates). I'll do it from this week to see what's moving and gently vibrating.
