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...

Japanese sales see 3rd Super Robot Wars dominate

Despite a stonking 121K sales and taking No. 1, 3rd Super Robot Wars from Bandai failed to help shift Vita hardware. The unit sale numbers dropped around 5K on the previous week, back to its recent baseline of around 22K. Sword Art Online Lost Song sold another 23K, while Minecraft continues to do well, sticking in the top 10 for another week, shifting 15,000.


The Vita is now 100,000 total sales down on last year, and no game since FFX-HD seems to be able to trigger high-level hardware numbers. So, what's it to be Sony, new hardware or some major existing IP game announcements?
