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 and Vita TV sales continue to climb in Japan

Sony's handheld trifecta continues to move units in Japan with the Vita combo selling nearly 36,000 units, boosted by holiday sales as there are still no new games. The Vita TV sold 5,500 (up 1,800 on last week) with the Vita selling 30,000 and even the venerable PSP shifted 6,500 units (all told, they accounted for 13% of hardware sales last week).

Vita sales should get a neat boost when FFX-HD arrives at the end of next week, but for now it has to rely on the back catalogue and God Eater 2 which has dropped off the chart (sold another 10,000 according to Famitsu), as there's nothing in the Nintendo-dominated top 20 to help it sell.
