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...

Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune Vs Zombies hits UK No. 1

The UK Vita retail chart doesn't need many sales for a game to hit No. 1. I have no idea how few such a niche game with a terrible title managed, but all hail Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune Vs Zombies from Idea Factory, Compile Heart and Tamsoft.


What do we reckon, 100 to 300 retail sales? How much long will any publisher continue to put games on shelves, perhaps opting for own-store retail limited editions or pre-order to publish schemes like Limited Run. Or, they'll go all digital and that's out lot for the little blue cases.

Over on PSN, where frankly most of the action is these days, there's plenty of small titles rushing to the top to mix in it with Japan's bigger titles. Hopefully Severed sold well enough in its first weeks to make DrinkBox feel it was worth the effort, although only 179 ratings suggest it didn't go mental.

1. Neverending Nightmares
2. Corridor Z
3. Azkend 2
4. Ray Gigant
5. The Sun and the Moon
6. Severed
7. Aegis of Earth
8. Risk of Rain
9. Axiom Verge
10. Samurai Warriors 4 Empires

God Eater 2 is already atop the Amazon UK Vita top sellers thanks to hefty pre-orders, among a mix of oldies with Megatagmension only making into just into the top 10.
