Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks.  December deals :  Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details .  PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK  (another £10 off for refurbs)  Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale).  Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!)  First up is  Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

PSP Beats Vita for Japanese Sales

Sony's PSP and PS3 managed to beat the sales of the PS Vita in its second week of sales. Sure the initial enthusiasm will have waned, but even so that's a pretty poor showing for the Vita. Expect a rush of premature calls for a price cut to kick in pretty soon, especially as the 3DS is now approaching half-a-million a week in sales thanks to Monster Hunter.


1. 3DS: 482,200 (367,691)
2. Wii: 91,176 (60,916)
3. PSP: 101,121 (64,468)
4. PS3: 75,943 (65,119)
5. PSV: 72,479 (324,859)

Just remember the handheld has six years to reach the 70-odd million of the PSP, and this is very much a marathon for Sony, not a sprint despite what all the pundits will say.
