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...

Japanese Media Create chart data and Famitsu scores

The latest Media Create chart data brings back fond memories of when Minecraft was the only game keeping Vita alive in Japan (selling a million boxed units). This week it hits the Switch, selling 61K in the process at No. 3, behind New Gundam Breaker on PS4 and Mario Tennis Ace at No. 1.  No Vita games in the top 20.

With Aquatic update being the last for the Vita, looks like lots of Japanese gamers will soon be moving onto the Switch version. On the hardware front, Vita sold just 2,163, a new low. Given the flat-line ahead of the summer, it is unlikely to make any sudden moves north, which leaves only down.


Still, there's plenty of games to come. Spike Chunsoft's soggy DRPG Zanki Zero scored 34/40 in the latest Famitsu reviews with two 9s and two 8s. Visual novel Seven Days: Anata to Sugosu Nanokakan scored two 8s and  two 7s for a 30.
