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. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Persona 5 triggers sales of Persona 4 titles

While it might not be big numbers, the arrival of Persona 5 has seen sales of the Vita's Persona roster rise. Off the back of Persona 5, it is good to see Persona 4: Dancing All Night as UK retail No. 1, with Persona 4 Golden also returning to the top 10 at No. 9. While some people were down on the tranquil nature of Root Letter, the placid visual novel still clings to the higher end of the chart after 24 weeks of release.

And with news that Persona 5 Dancing might be on the cards, who knows if another bout of story-laden musical tapping could be heading our way.

1. Persona 4: Dancing All Night (NISA)
2. Root Letter (PQube)
3. MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death (Idea Factory)
4. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Warner)
5. Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls (NISA)

Oddly enough, even with Persona 4 Golden at £3.99 on UK PSN, its not among the current top sellers, perhaps because everybody owns it.
