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...

Super Robot Wars V shifts 83K on Vita in Japan

Namco's Super Robot Wars V did pretty well in Japan, selling 100K on the PS4, and almost 84K on the Vita. Together that's not far off what Nier Automata managed at the top of the new Media Create chart for PS4. I wonder how good the sales of the Asian version with English subtitles are doing?

New in at No. 5, selling 13,500, is Haruka 3 Ultimate, a pastel visual novel that even got its own Limited Edition Vita. Looks like Sony will chuck out an LE for almost any game now! But these are not helping to move hardware much, leaving the Vita in the low teens of Japanese market share.

Quite what the arrival of the Switch will do remains to be seen - will it grab the majority of developers still keen on the Vita, that would be bad!


Those sales help the Vita creep back over 10K sales on the week. Winning Post 8 and Musou Stars are out this week in Japan to help nudge sales along.
