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...

Baseball and Drums Sell Well in Japan (Charts)

The Japanese game charts look colourful this week (guess it must be the silly season there too) with five new entries kicking out the old guard from the top five. Cutesey baseball game Jikkyou and Drum Master from Namco do the biz for the PSP in the top five [Andriasang] while Unchained Rexx hits the Top 10. There are six PSP games in the top 20 with the 3DS sales of StarFox looking surprisingly limp.


[PS3] 1. Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2011 (Konami): 117,759 NEW!
[PSP] 2. Taiko Drum Master Portable DX (Deluxe) (Namco Bandai): 80,215 NEW!
[WII] 3. Inazuma Eleven Strikers (Level 5): 74,227 NEW!
[PSP] 4. Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2011 (Konami): 73,247 NEW!
[NDS] 5. Puyo Puyo!! (Sega): 34,903 NEW!

3DS is back on top of the PSP in the hardware charts, helped by StarFox and a few other new releases, looks like this leap frogging could go on for some time.
