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...

Legend of Heroes and One Piece crash the Japanese chart as Vita sales rise

Vita sales perked up in Japan last week, spiced up by a couple of new releases, the new Legend of Heroes and One Piece games. Vita sold 14,735 units (including 1,436 Vita TV sales) according to Media Create.

That'll likely drop this week, ahead of the following week's big releases including Freedom Wars and Panzer Girls. The PSP's farewell tour continued with another 4,300 sales, just two weeks to go before they become collector's items.


05./00. [PSV] The Legend of Heroes: Ao no Kiseki Evolution # (Kadokawa Shoten) - 19.659 / NEW 
07./00. [PSV] One Piece: Unlimited World Red (Bandai Namco Games) - 10.348 / NEW 

The modest sales of these new entries isn't great news (although One Piece also launched on PS3 and WiiU, splitting sales). The last Legend of Heroes title sold 100,000 copies eventually, so this seems like a rather weak addition to the series. Then again, Famitsu's numbers have it at 26,000 sales, so perhaps MC is a bit off.
