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...

Japan's games sales see Persona 4 and the Vita rock on

After last week's kick ass Vita performance, what hope of a repeat as gamers gear up for Metal Gear HD which is out tomorrow? Naturally the new Pokemon topped the chart, selling over 1.5 million copies, Persona 4 dropped to No. 3, but still sold around 30,000 copies despite likely stock problems and the PSP rounds out the top five with the Spike's latest brawler.

1. Pokemon Black 2 DS
2. Dragon Quest Monsters 3DS
3. Persona 4 Golden PSV
4. Kenka Bancho Bros: Tokyo Battle Royale PSP

5. Tokyo Jungle PS3
On the hardware front, the Vita managed to shift another 13,589 units which, while well down on last week, is well up on the previous weeks' performances. Hopefully MGS will give it a neat little punt, but Persona proved that the Vita can sell with the right games, now its up to Sony and other developers to deliver them. Perhaps the PS Heaven event, expected tomorrow, will show the way?
