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 .

Hatsune Mike sets Vita sales records

The numbers are out from Media Create after Hatsune Miku Project Diva F stormed the Japanese chart earlier in the week. It sold nearly 75% of units shipped at almost 160,000 copies and 23,000 white Vita/Miku bundles were sold, dragging the Vita up to over 50,000 sales in a week for the first time in 2012.

Next up for the Vita in Japan is LittleBigPlanet (which historically hasn't done much in Japan unfortunately), Ys Celceta at the end of the month, and Earth Defense Force 3 Portable which probably stands the best chance of denting the chart.
