Considering it myself.
The Vita OLED still is fantastic. If it's a bit better than that, and possibly HDR like their VR2 headset OLED, then it will put a lot of more expensive native handhelds to shame in the screen department.

You mean people give up the telly? Willingly? Without even putting up a fight?

How is the input lag on It ? Are games like Silksong doable on this ?

Input lag probably does exist in the milliseconds but I cannot perceive it.
I don't use it as my main gaming platform by any means. 4K TV is obviously where it's at. But for travel for work and to get a quick 20 minutes while some Director is talking shit on a conference call and I don't need to pay attention it's the best remote play experience I have ever had.
I haven't played silksong yet but the original hollow knight is playable 100%. Going through "the messenger" at the minute and it is quite a tricky platformer at times, it runs very smooth and I would be funny about input lag and delay, I hate it.

I guess mine is just on the bad side of the lottery panel.

Identifies as young
The PlayStation ecosystem is now on Steam.
No, it isn't. An ecosystem is more than just a small number of first party games.

I actually bought a Portal like 2 months ago. As someone who doesn't have a PS5 it was a nice alternative now you can stream games on PS+. I do love OLED screens, but as others have said, the Portal screen is actually very nice as is.
The device cost me £170 and 1 year of the highest teir of ps+ was £80, so a total of £250 and I am pretty happy with it. I haven't played that much, but games like Demon's Souls play really well with minimal input lag.

Sold mine a while ago as I had stopped using it as the steam deck can stream from the ps5 and it's OLED. Glad for the folks that want this though.

That's certainly possible, and it makes a lot of sense. If Sony has to partner with another supplier for OLED displays, then they could strike a deal where Sony gets a break on pricing for screens for the PS Portal v2, in exchange for committing to a long-term contract extending to the "PS6 Portable.
Then again, as we've seen in this industry, nothing is guaranteed. They could borrow a page from the Nintendo playbook: go back to LCD for the initial batch of "PS6 Portable", then offer an OLED version a year or two later.
Sony, too, has shown they can execute some peculiar moves. They revised the PS Vita from OLED in the earlier version to LCD in the later version.
I think I'll just stop here...don't want to give anyone any ideas.

You've got some good points here.
The funny thing is, about 10 years ago, Sony had the PS Now service on a wider range of devices: PS3, PS4, PS Vita, PSTV, PC, and several smart TVs. In 2017, they did some upgrades to the back end, which greatly improved the streaming quality. Unfortunately, a lot of the older devices didn't have enough grunt to handle the new codecs, so Sony gave the axe to everything other than PS4 and PC. (They have since added PS5 and PS Portal.)
Sony said that they would eventually bring back
Meanwhile, Sony did make some good strides in expanding PS Plus Premium. Most notably, they added the ability to purchase some PS5 games outside of the Game Catalog and stream to the PS5 or PS Portal.
With the new ability for PS Plus Premium subscribers to "roll your own" PS5 streaming library, Sony's next move should be to fulfill their pledge, and finally bring PS Plus Premium streaming to smart TVs and phones.
I don't believe that doing this would detract from PS Portal sales in any significant way. On one hand, Sony might lose 10% to 20% of future Portal sales...perhaps a few hundred thousand people over the next year. On the other hand, they could gain millions of new users who are suddenly able to buy a DualSense, link it to the TV or phone that they already own, and start buying PS5 games for streaming.
