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! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version? 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. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Persona 4 Golden tops Vita chart, fails to dent all formats

Well, that's not good. While it was a shoo-in for No. 1 on the Vita chart, the sales of the format's best game by far failed to make a dent in the all-formats top 20. While I wasn't expecting it to beat Crysis or Metal Gear Slicy-Dicey, it should have done more than enough to dislodge some of the games that have been out for months.

Some of the other charts published later might show it, deeper in the thirties or forties, but you'd have thought a must-have title enough Vita owners would be able to punt it in to the upper reaches, above say 20,000 sales which is needed for top five these days.

UPDATE - it squeaked into 32nd place according to one report, that could be as low as 3-5,000 sales. No where near good enough to make any developer think about a high-profile launch this year. While some sales will be digital, and therefore not recorded, its a hefty-sized 3GB game and one I'd put aside for physical purchase.
