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 .

I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex.

Tales of Innocence R gets the Vita resurgence underway

It sounds really dumb talking about a resurgence for a device that's been onsale for six weeks. But the Vita is back on the move after a slow January with Namco's Tales of Innocence R selling 50,000 units in its first week, putting it an No. 3. With a new Gundam title doing the PSP no harm at all at No. 11


[PS3] 01. Armored Core V (From Software, 01.26.2012): 163,906  NEW
[3DS] 02. Resident Evil Revelations (Capcom, 01.26.2012): 146,559 NEW

[PSP] 11. Gundam Mokuba no Kiseki (Namco Bandai, 01.26.2012): 9,121 NEW

That helped nudge the PSV above the PSP in the hardware charts (last week's sales in brackets), but with lots of big name games on the way and Gravity Daze getting a great reception in Famitsu, expect things to start moving up a bit quicker.

1. 3DS: 84,789 (80,960)
2. PS3: 22,924 (21,155)
3. PSV: 18,942 (15,219)
