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 $1 billion profit in latest results

Mobile phones are still failing Sony, along with its image sensor business as the whole mobile market loses its gloss. PlayStation, on the other hand is driving the company with games consoles up 10% on the last quarter.

PlayStation operating income was up 45% to over 40 billion yen (around $336 million). Most of that will be PS4 business, but expect those profits to take a hit when PSVR hits the market to be met by modest at best uptake.

Read all the dull biz details here. Sony seems to be pretty tight on inventory now, so if it sells around 1.5 million Vitas in 2016 (1 million in Japan, 500K elsewhere, guessing), then it won't have to do another write down on portable stock. Will it try and support those new sales? Probably not.
