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...

Catherine Full Body half-heartedly hits the Japanese chart

Selling 9,200 copies, Catherine Full Body is probably the last Vita game to make a major dent in the Media Create chart in Japan, landing at No. 13. That's pretty far behind the 51K sold by the PS4 version at No. 2, a sad but predictable end.

However, if niche publishers want to the give the Vita a punt, Golden Corda Octave proves there's still plenty of life in it - selling 4,500 physical copies at No. 17 and probably a lot more on PSN to make visual novels still worthwhile - as it was with the end of the PSP's life.

With the news that production will end "soon" in Japan, unit sales rise a little to 1,767 for last week, and might head up a little more, but these are pretty much the last twitches of positive movement. What's for sure is if you want a Vita or a spare unit, get it now as prices will shoot up.
