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 sells 321,000 on opening weekend

The first semi-official figure is out and the PS Vita sold 321,000 units in Japan in its first weekend. There is no breakdown between WiFi and 3G models, but if that rate continues, it will easily hit the million mark by Christmas. Most retailers said they still had the PS Vita in stock, but many had sold out of memory cards which might delay some sales.



That figure is roughly double what the PSP sold in its opening weekend, and just behind the 3DS. These figures will be discussed in an inane fashion by a bunch of people claiming the PSV is either doomed, or totally dead already. Ignore them and we'll see how it is doing in six months after its global launch. Sony will be delighted on the sales of memory cards as that's the only thing it is making a profit on right now.
