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...

Sword Art Online slashes to No. 1 in Japan

Namco's Sword Art Online outsells the next three games in the chart combined, storming in at the top spot of Media Create's latest chart. With BlazBlue kicking and punching its way in at No. 7 as a slightly delayed Vita release, and with Super Robot Wars sticking around at No. 8, things look pretty happy for the Vita.

Hardware sales get a decent boost with just under 5,000 more units sold than last week's recent low. Hopefully the green line will rocket up as Golden Week sales kick in across Japan. Perhaps the PS4 and Vita TV firmware update will help goose sales of Sony's little box next week to support the Vita effort?
