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...

Vita still top in Japan on falling sales

Vita hardware sales remain above the 3DS in Japan this week according to Media Create. But with the country having very much an off-week and little in the way of new releases (is there an annual "turn off that console day" in Japan?, there isn't much good news to shout about with Vita sales dipping below 20,000 for the first time in a couple of months.


The Vita is just below 18,000 while the 3DS slips below 15,000. Sword Art Online and the new BlazBlue are out tomorrow in Japan, so should provide a boost to the Vita's numbers next week. Expect the 3DS to do very well though, as Nintendo is running a free game offer with console sales.

The following week after that is Golden Week which sees a big sales boost for portable gadgets as lots of Japanese go travelling. After that summer hell commences and sales will struggle without a big name game to provide a lift.
