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...

Summon Night 3 and Sol Trigger blazes away on the Japan games chart

Sol Trigger got a lot of coverage earlier in the year, but went a bit quiet in the summer. However, it is now out on the shelves as one of the last big PSP releases. The game lands at No. 4 in the charts behind Summon Night 3, a budget-price remake from Namco and the horde of Resident Evil 6 zombies and the new Pro Evo.

01. [PS3] Resident Evil 6 (Capcom) {2012.10.04} (¥7.990) - 634.933
02. [PS3] World Soccer Winning Eleven 2013 (Konami) {2012.10.04} (¥7.980) - 223.884
03. [PSP] Summon Night 3 (Bandai Namco Games) {2012.10.04} (¥3.990) - 51.455
04. [PSP] Sol Trigger (Image Epoch) {2012.10.04} (¥6.279) - 42.037  
05. [360] Resident Evil 6 (Capcom) {2012.10.04} (¥7.990) - 41.652 

On the hardware side, the Vita has now crept over 1,000,000 sales in Japan, but Sony won't be in a mood to celebrate as it only managed sell around 8,000 this week. 300,000 of those sales came on the launch weekend, leaving nine months for it to accrue the rest. The venerable PSP managed double that and is now approaching 20 million sales in Japan.
