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.

Vita sales hold in Media Create chart as Japan holidays

Golden Week proved the usual snooze fest for Japan. Vita sales were down a couple of thousand and there were no new entries in the chart. The only moves of note are Pro Jikkyou Baseball on Vita moving above the PS4 version to No. 3, while One Piece Burning Blood approaches 50,000 sales after two weeks. Wonder if it will sell better in Europe, based on Bandai's earlier figures.

According to the Media Create Numbers, the Vita is just a two or three weeks sales away from hitting five million in Japan, wonder if there will be any sort of celebration, news or updates out of Sony for the event?


Next up on the release list are Dragon Quest Heroes 2 and Cladun Sengoku, landing on 27 May.
