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...

Vita sales up a fraction in Japan

Vita sales were up a whopping 170 on last week, up to 3,705 as Itadaki Street: Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary barely sticks around in the Media Create chart, selling another 4,300 copies to move to 23K physical copies.

Lurking around the foot of the chart and probably selling just a few hundred each were 40 Steam Prison Nanatsu no Bitoku and at 41 Amaekata wa Kanojo Nari.

Still, with a revamped (barely) Value Pack hitting Japan in a couple of weeks,  I'm sure things will soon be peachy! On the software front, Va-11 Hall-A from Sukeban seems to be generating a lot of interest out east, which could make it a surprise hit.

Naturally Switch is way out in front as Super Mario arrives selling 460K units.
