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...

Most wanted Vita games in Japan, will PS4 launch help or hinder?

Vita games manage to creep into the bottom of Famitsu's latest most-wanted game poll in Japan, pushed down by a few PS4 entries, as the new console launches in just a few hours. Will the Vita really get a sales boost from the new big-screen console? Sony gave anecdotal evidence of a Vita sales boost, but what? 1-in-100, 1-in-1,000? As the PS4 passes five million sales, that could be a little or a decent chunk.

The second question is, after the launch, will Japanese developers focus on the PS4 and its big-screen appeal? Or will Japanese love of diddy-screen gaming win through? With lots of lay-offs in recent years, do Japanese developers have the depth for multiple efforts?

One thing is pretty certain, Persona 5 Portable/Golden can't come soon enough as that's clearly the big cheese in Japan right now.
