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...

Sony's E3 Vita highlights trailer, with exactly one Sony game

This is the problem right here, Sony's big, mega, highlight clip video for the Vita, contains exactly one Sony title, and that's made by Japan Studio (with a bunch of third parties helping out). The rest are indies, led off by Minecraft and Velocity 2X, MechRunner and a couple of the Japanese games headed our way, plus a snippet of The Walking Dead.

While I don't expect AAA games, or AA games, or even 'a game'. At this point Sony should come out and say, "we're not doing Vita anymore," just to make it totally clear , to prevent any potential Vita buyers picking one up expecting some Sony games to appear on it.

Sure, Sony Worldwide Studios and gamers themselves through Kickstarter are massively helping the indie scene, without which Vita would be toast already, but at a functional studio level, this is exhibit A that Sony is done with Vita.


Having said all that today, I'll now quit whining and enjoy the Vita for the games it does, and will, have (until Gamescom when bitch mode will kick off again most likely).
