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...

Shiren the Wanderer 5 hits No. 2 in Japan

The latest Media Create charts fail to excite again as Japan snoozes in to summer. However, Spike Chunsoft's Shiren the Wanderer 5 manages to make it in as the highest new entry, selling 16,200 but fails to dislodge Splatoon from the No. 1 spot. A few more new entries nudge Minecraft down to No. 7 but it is still selling 10,000 a week and should be over 200,000 physical sales next week.


Out this week is the latest Legend of Heroes Evolution title from Kadokawa and a few more romance games, so don't expect much excitement next week. Vita sales fall again, but at this rate might still pass 4 million lifetime Japanese sales by the end of June. Are there any games coming to replicate those spikes from previous years, check out the launch schedule.
