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...

The PS Vita's sales drought looks like its over

After a sluggish start, expect PS Vita sales in Japan to take off now. First up Tales of Innocence R is on sale and these games usually ship a good million or so. Then comes the news that the Ragarok demo notched up 100,000 downloads over the week, which suggests this is the game that will help Monster Hunters pass the time until that game turns up later in the year on Vita.


Both games have had extensive build ups to their release with endless screen drops (another bunch of Ragnarok screens here)and drip feeding of information. ToIR also has some DLC out already. Assuming the usual gaming RPG and MH factions turn up in even a fraction of their full force, that should shift Vita sales along this week and next. After that, its Gravity Daze's turn in the spotlight.
