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...

Latest Media Create chart and Famitsu scores

God Wars: The Complete Legend was the only Vita release in Japan last week and made a modest launch across its multi-format release, managing 23,000 across digital and physical. In the Media Create chart, it managed 2,967 on Switch at No. 15, 2,649 on PS4 and failed to chart on Vita, but I'd guess around 1,200-1,500.

With combined retail sales of around 7,000, digital is more than 66% of typical sales now, which is impressive. Retails sales were poor compared to the previous release, Future Past, where it managed 5K each on PS4 and Vita. A western release for The Complete Legend for Switch is confirmed, but nothing for the Vita.  Still, we can just go play God Wars: Future Past.



Hardware sales fall, with Vita dropping back down to just above the 3K mark after a perky boost last time out. That takes it to over 100,000 for the year as we near the halfway point.



Check out last week's figures. Over in Famitsu land, a couple more PS Vita visual novels get well-rated in a quiet week for new titles.
