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 UK retail Vita chart (a one off for 2019)

Its the most meaningless chart in existence, and I'll only run it once in 2019, as its a quiet start to the year. But, here's what's selling in UK retail land on the Vita, perhaps a dozen retail copies each? maybe more for the recent Muv Luv releases.

Given that most Vita game sales are second-hand these days, not sure what the point of collecting the data is, but here we go:

  1. Meiq: Labyrinth Of Death         Idea Factory 
  2. Call Of Duty: Black Ops Declassified      Activision    
  3. Xblaze Code: Embryo     Funbox 
  4. Metal Gear Solid HD Collection     Konami       
  5. LEGO Marvel Avengers    Warner 
  6. Muv-Luv     PQube 
  7. Muv-Luv Alternative       PQube 
  8. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair      NIS America 
  9. Chaos;Child      PQube 
  10. World Of Final Fantasy   Square Enix 
Looking further into the future, I wonder if the LEGO Hobbit and Lord of the Rings games will pop back up the chart soon as the PSN versions have vanished? Check out the Japanese chart data for more meaningful numbers.
