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 back to normal in Japan

The seasonal madness is officially over in Japan with Switch sales sliding right back into their nothing-to-see-here groove of of 52K sales per week. Even on a down week, it is running neck-and-neck with PS4 and PS4 Pro sales that got a big kick from the arrival of Kingdom Hearts III and Resident Evil 2, selling 860K units between them.

The trouble for developers and publishers now, is do they focus on new titles for PS5 or try to ride the Switch wave with a mix of remasters and new titles? The clamour around Persona 5 R for Switch continues to drive interest and other developers must be looking at what they can port or update. But will Switch get new Resi titles (remasters aside) and KH games? Seems unlikely, for now.

More immediately, we get a useful comparison as Atelier Nelke arrives this week in Japan, across PS4, Switch and Vita launches this week.
