Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia .

PS Vita does modest first week game sales

The Japanese chart is out and on the back of its weekend launch, the PS Vita managed to get two games into the top 10. Hot Shots Golf (one of the best selling PSP titles) led the way with 64,000 sales with Uncharted just under 50,000. After selling 325,000 units the Vita is off to a solid, if unspectacular start.

A couple of days sales won't show the true picture, so next week's charts will probably give a more reliable picture. One thing is for sure, the 3DS has definitely taken off with four out of the top five.
