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 . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth!

Another good sales week for Vita in Japan

Sony sold another near-as-dammit 20,000 Vita units last week in Japan according to the Media Create chart. That was on the back of three new entries in the games charts, with Utawareru Mono (False Mask) leading the way, while Resident Evil makes a hasty exit to the bottom of the chart, so that was worth it!


PS4 sales have collapsed to just 4,000 this week as Japan waits for its price cut to kick in. If the Vita keeps this rate up it should easily pass 800,000 sales for the year. That's as sales have followed the overall trend but there have been none of the big spikes from previous years.
