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...

A tale of two Toukiden 2 games

The UK charts are out and Toukiden 2 is No.1 on the Vita retail list. On the PS4 chart, it only managed to creep in to No. 28, presumably because everyone was buying the freak-fest that is Mass Effect Andromeda.

Realistically, the PS4 version could have sold a few more copies than the Vita edition, but since neither made the individual formats (value or units) charts, only Koei Tecmo's accountants will ever know.

Still congrats to the company on another Vita UK No. 1 and well done to everyone who went with the physical edition. However, based on this news and last year's Japanese sales, I'm not too sure there will be a Toukiden 3, although a T2.5 may be on the cards.

The retail chart rundown by GameTrack is:

1. Toukiden 2 (new entry)
2. Steins Gate 0 (no change, 18 weeks on chart)
3. Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified (up from 7)
4. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens (down from 3)
5. Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (up from 9)
6. Root Letter (down from 1, 20 weeks on chart)

Will update with PSN digital Top Sellers list if Sony can be bothered to, seems to have been very static for a long time. Toukiden 2 is at No. 4 on the Amazon Best Sellers list while Ys VIII tops the pre-order list. Drive Girls is also there, although still unconfirmed, so we'll likely here about that this week.
