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...

Toukiden lifts the Vita in the Japanese charts, sells double the PSP version

Sales of Toukiden bundles have, as mentioned yesterday, sent the Vita racing up the Media Create charts in Japan. With the game selling out in many stores, it looks like hardware bundles were a must-buy too. The game sits at No.2 of the charts with double the sales of the PSP edition, something of a first. It is also the third biggest launch week for a Vita game.

01./00. [PS3] Gundam Breaker (Bandai Namco Games) {2013.06.27} (¥7.980) - 200.564 / NEW 02./00. [PSV] Toukiden # (Koei Tecmo) {2013.06.27} (¥6.090) - 122.794 / NEW 
03./00. [3DS] Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl (Atlus) {2013.06.27} (¥6.279) - 88.278 / NEW 04./00. [PSP] Toukiden (Koei Tecmo) {2013.06.27} (¥5.040) - 66.016 / NEW

The Vita sold 31.271 units last week, up 18,000 on the previous chart, making it the seventh biggest selling week this year. With Dragon's Crown due in a couple of weeks, will the Vita get on a bit of a roll before the summer lull? Not sure where the Vita version of Gundam Breaker charted, if that's out yet. 

 Here's my magic graph comparing sales to last year and the major releases.
