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 ...

Nintendo's Switch 2 marketing takes over London

Nintendo's bean counters might be celebrating the successful launch of the Switch 2 with 3.5 million units sold in the first four days. But I think the marketing team deserve a pat on the back, with Switch 2 marketing absolutely everywhere. 

On a quick trip to London this week, Switch 2 hardware and games marketing was all over the main train and tube stations and on the streets. While Nintendo die-hards were going to upgrade anyway, I'd like to think a lot of regular folk are taking an interest and jumping on the Nintendo train. 



Given the poor state of games marketing, hopefully this will nudge other publishers with a reminder that there's more than shoving a banner advert on Engadget or wherever.


What I didn't see was any booths or demo kiosks, which I thought would be have been high on the list of priorities to show even loyal Switch owners how much better the successor is. Let me know if you've seen any around.
