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 seasonal hardware sales happy in Japan

The Vita sold 14,041 units in Japan, according to Media Create figures, a numeric palindrome to celebrate its best figures of the calendar year! Again, sales are around a quarter of what they were week-on-week in previous years, but that's still a healthy amount of hardware until you see the Switch sold over a quarter of a million units last week alone, and 500K in two weeks.

Even so, the word "viable" is all we need to hear, and for Sony to pay the slightest bit of attention as the Vita has a solid roster for 2018, as the PS4 continues to get caned by Switch.


No games to note in the software Media Create chart, with Atelier Lydie & Soeur failing to beak the top 20.
