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...

Vita sales firm in Japan as Splatoon 2 dominates

Vita sales remain firm, more like set in concrete, in Japan with the latest Media Create figures showing yet another 4,500 units sold last week. That's not surprising with just one new modest entry, World Election from Piacci at No.18 that sold just 3,017.

The Vita roster is looking pretty skinny these days, especially with Splatoon 2 selling over 600K (and Switch just under 10K), so nothing but a big hit or seasonal sales is likely to move that black-and-red iron bar up.

There's nothing much happening for the Vita until 24 August when The Lost Child and Yomawari: Midnight Shadows hit.
