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.

Freedom Wars sticks to No. 1 in Japan

Sony's time-and-crime game keeps a hold on number one in a quiet week for Japan's charts, as Sony works on updates for Freedom Wars to react to fan angst. It sold another 43,000 copies to pass 230,000 sales making it the second-best selling Vita game behind God Eater 2. Panzer Girls managed another 4,000 to pass 35,000 units. Demon Gaze Global Edition sold a couple of thousand copies to land way down the charts, but most Japanese gamers will be waiting for DG2.

With no major new entries, hardware sales dipped a bit, but the Vita still sold over 20,000 units for the week. God Eater 2 on budget arrives this week, with Oreshika 2 to come next before the official summer lull.
