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...

All quiet in the Japanese charts

A couple of new entries on the Media Create chart this week, but nothing rampaging up near the top of the chart. Note the campaign to get Labyrinth of Grisaia to the west, starting soon hopefully.

13./00. [PSV] Grisaia no Meikyuu: Le Labyrinthe de la Grisaia (Prototype) - 4.652 / NEW
14./09. [PSV] Super Hero Generation (Bandai Namco) - 4.026 / 20.828 (-76%)

 On the hardware side, Vita sales are back on the slide, and now looking pretty dismal compared to last year with just over 11,000 Vita TV and Vita handhelds sold. If things don't pick up in the last 8 weeks, the Vita could crawl over a million sales, after a stronger, more promising, year so far. 

 We do have Sony's girl gamer effort starting soon with the pink model, new Value Bundles and Sega's Phantasy Star Nova bundles to give things a kick, but I can't see last year's highs being matched. 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
