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?

Famitsu to publish Japanese PSN download sales figures

Come on Sony Europe, get with the times! Let's see just how well PSN is performing. Japan, as usual is ahead of the game and will see Famitsu publishing downloaded game sales data from early next year. To show off the current base, it has published a bunch of Autumn sales numbers across Nintendo and Sony devices showing how wide the range can be.

With Vita games picking up between an extra 4,000 to 7,500 sales, usually between 8% to 10% of the retail figure (in brackets), that's a decent addition to most titles numbers but we'll see across next year how it affects the overall numbers.

September:
1. 3DS Monster Hunter 4 225,324 (2,542,114)
2. PS3 Final Fantasy XIV 22,807 (217,644)
3. PSV Ragnarok Odyssey Ace 6595 (46,788)
4. PSV Killzone Mercenary 6403 (18,582)
5. PSV Sen no Kiseki 4489 (93,674)
7. PSV Musou Orochi 2 Ultimate 3853 (24,825)

October:
1. 3DS Pokemon X&Y 33911 (2,953,059)
2. 3DS Monster Hunter 4 30,879 (433,365)
3. PSV SakaTsuku 7462 (40,795)
6. PSV Danganronpa 1&2 Reload 5697 (88,334)
