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.

Fate Extella tops the Media Create chart

This week's Media Create chart is dominated by Fate Extella, selling 160K across Vita, PS4 and limited editions, with the Vita version tops at 73K.

All eyes are on the new red and silver models, plus the Minecraft bundle out on 6th December to give a final boost to Vita sales, after that its likely to be a very steady decline across 2017.


Over on Famitsu, there's a load of fresh Vita reviews in this week, most of these are out over the next couple of weeks. Pokemon Sun/Moon is out in Japan this week so expect 3DS bedlam next week!
