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...

Holiday rush in Japan sees Vita sales jump 10K

Some good news for blog post 5,500. While Monster Hunting still dominates Japan's Media Create chart, Vita hardware sales jump by around 10,000 as holiday sales kick in. There's no major new releases to support that jump, but the recent Famitsu reviews show lots of good stuff to come.

Minecraft is still digging it out in the top 10, with sales back over 11,100 while Umaru: Dried Fish Sister (surely a translation error) sneaks in at 15, selling just 6,000.


If it spikes up like previous years to the end of the year, with plenty of big Japanese games to come, the Vita's Japanese future, and us western hang-ons, seems pretty bright.
