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 ...

Media Create chart data and Famitsu scores

Vita sales fall by 1,000 to 4,080 despite a couple of new titles arriving in the Media Create chart, which isn't a particularly good sign. Worse is the low sales of an all-new title like The Lost Child, which means developers are likely to be hopping over to Switch faster. At least Yomawari outsold the PS4 version by a few copies!

All eyes on Sony's press event to see if Sony gives up or wants to fight on.


Media Create sales:

08 Yomawari: Midnight Shadows (Nippon Ichi)- 8,255 / NEW
