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.

Japanese Media Create chart data and Famitsu scores

Still, there's plenty of games to come. Spike Chunsoft's soggy DRPG Zanki Zero scored 34/40 in the latest Famitsu reviews with two 9s and two 8s. Visual novel Seven Days: Anata to Sugosu Nanokakan scored two 8s and  two 7s for a 30.
