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 ...

Assassin's Creed Chronicles crashes into No. 1 across the UK charts

The UK Vita retail chart is practically buzzing with a string of recent releases in the chart. The latest to go straight in at No. 1 is Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Chronicles,developed by Climax.

The PSN top sellers list is dominated by western classic remakes, but Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth continues to show awesome legs, wouldn't be surprised if that was the best selling Vita game behind Minecraft this year. Pretty sure AC:C will go top when this list updates.

1. Day of the Tentacle Remastered
2. Civilization Revolution 2 Plus
3. Xcom: Enemy Unknown Plus
4. Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth
5. Trillion God of Destruction

Over on Amazon UK, Assassin's Creed Chronicles is also on top of the Amazon Top Vita Sellers list. FIFA 15 and Need for Speed are also in the top five, showing that EA could have continued with these games and still made a decent return on modest updates. Next out in physical form are MegaTagmension and Stranger of Sword City, which might be rather more niche affairs.
