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...

Switch sales race past GameCube and onto infinity

Selling 40,000 units a week in Japan, and presumably healthy numbers in the west, Nintendo's latest figures show the Switch soaring toward 23 million units sold. Nintendo managed to sell a hefty 5 million in the last six months (the slow time of year), and 42 million games, and with a frantic Christmas to come.

The GameCube managed around 21.75 million in its short life, but Switch will have some way to go to hit the Wii's 101 million sales. A new revision next year should help kick sales again, and what are the odds that Nintendo can jolt the hardware a little to make it easier to get more ports over.

Whatever the sales, none of those Switch systems look quite as batshit as mine!
