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 ...

Vita seasonal hardware sales happy in Japan

The Vita sold 14,041 units in Japan, according to Media Create figures, a numeric palindrome to celebrate its best figures of the calendar year! Again, sales are around a quarter of what they were week-on-week in previous years, but that's still a healthy amount of hardware until you see the Switch sold over a quarter of a million units last week alone, and 500K in two weeks.

Even so, the word "viable" is all we need to hear, and for Sony to pay the slightest bit of attention as the Vita has a solid roster for 2018, as the PS4 continues to get caned by Switch.


No games to note in the software Media Create chart, with Atelier Lydie & Soeur failing to beak the top 20.
