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.

PSP Tops Both Charts in Japan (Again), Saved by Earth Defense Forces 2

Shock horror, the PSP only has six of the top ten games in Japan! Standards are slipping and must be addressed!

No. 1 Baby!

On the hardware front, the PSP has a narrow lead over the 3DS, but its a big drop from last week. However, with Super Robot Wars Z out this week and Story of the Last Promise out in a couple of weeks, normal service should resume soon:

1. PSP: 35,478 (57,379)
2. 3DS: 32,910 (42,979)
3. PS3: 22,431 (27,453)
4. Wii: 8,825 (10,249)
