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...

LEGO Batman storms the top of the UK Charts, Gravity Rush plummets

The PS Vita kind of gets its first UK number one as the very multi-format LEGO Batman 2 scales the top of the all formats chart. Gravity Rush immediately plummets out of the chart, showing the weakness of UK Vita hardware sales. Wonder if we'll get a breakdown of those Batman sales from Warner?

In the PS Vita chart, the newer games are starting to force the launch titles off the top now and with Metal Gear out this week, that trend should continue. Again, no downloads counted so, who knows how it is really doing. I saw a story Last Week that Gravity Rush in the US had at least 5,000 downloads and ratings, so potentially many thousands more PSN purchases. In the UK, it has just 682 ratings on PSN which means UK gamers don't rate games much or UK Vita sales are really in the toilet.
