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...

Hatsune Miku storms to No. 1 in Japan

It may be a time of blossom and family in Japan, plus some taxation increases that will kick up the cost of living after this week, but the nation's gamers are still buying their hardware. Over the last week, the Vita sold 40,000 units according to Media Create, continuing a strong rise.


On the software side, last week's big releases were led off by Hatsune Miku and her 2nd Diva effort, storming to No.1 and selling over 100,000 on Famitsu, just below on Media Create and beating the PS3 version. That's down from 160,000 for her debut, the PS3 version picked up 60,000 sales, unlikely to be a coincidence. The other new entries didn't make much of an impact while J-Stars continue to shift decent units.
