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...

Freedom Wars heads to jail in the UK chart

Ouch, I know it did a lot of pre-orders, but Sony's last major Vita game (probably) Freedom Wars (see the review scores for the game) couldn't stick to the top of the Vita chart for longer than a week, even with its thorny appendage. It is already down to No. 3 behind Killzone and FIFA. That's why no one is developing for Vita in a big way!

Did any other console (except a Nintendo) have a launch game, Uncharted, in the top five nearly three years after launch?

FIFA 15 EA SPORTS 2 7
2 KILLZONE: MERCENARY SONY COMPUTER ENT. 3 62
3 FREEDOM WARS SONY COMPUTER ENT. 1 2
4 UNCHARTED: GOLDEN ABYSS SONY COMPUTER ENT. 6 137
5 FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD REMASTER SQUARE 4 34

The only other new entry was Muppet Movie Adventures at No. 20 suggesting that even kids aren't buying Vita games. With Batman and Minecraft out this and next week, after that it's pure Japanese on the schedule, at which point even having a Vita chart remains pretty much useless.
