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 sales approach 5K in Japan as Dragon Quest XI dominates

A month ago it looked like the Vita would drop below 4,000 sales. Now it is pushing closer to 5,000. Which is just my trying to generate some excitement as the Vita remains flatlined in between those boundaries.

Still, it is up 400 on last week, with Kenka Bancho Otome breaking into the top 10 with almost 7,000 sales. A trio of games pepper the 3,000 sales mark at the bottom of the chart in the guise of: Wagamama High Spec from iMel, Grisaia no Kajitsu: Side Episode from Prototype and Idea Factory's Hiiro no Kakera.

I'll tastefully ignore Dragon Quest XI selling around 2.2 million across 3DS and PS4, even if Square did show off a Remote Play video to remind folk of the Vita. That launch managed to boost hardware sales by 4X to 5X on those platforms.
