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...

Danganronpa V3 bears up the Media Create chart

The bear that doesn't care hits No. 2 in Japan's Media Create chart,  with the Vita version trouncing the PS4 model. But angry bears fail to top the combined world collision of Disney and Final Fantasy in the latest Kingdom Hearts title. Even with the PS4 version splitting the market, D3 managed very consistent sales compared to previous games.

1. Kingdom Hearts 2.8 (PS4) 137, 797
2. Danganronpa V3 (Vita) 76, 166
3. Danganronpa V3 (PS4) 40, 006
10. Minecraft (Vita) 8,890
14. Valkyrie Drive Bikini Party Edition (Vita) 5,078

That splash does little for Vita sales which dives in traditional fashion down to 13,816, still tracking its usual 14-15% of the market. It should pass 5.5 million units next week for Japan but even if continues to sell 10K a week over most of the year, Sony Japan should be pretty happy and developers will keep on coding for it.
