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 .

Vita stays strong in Japan

Sony's handheld and TV box shifted 26,963 units in Japan last week, down 6,000 but still a hefty number and way up on 2011 and 2012's 15,000 numbers.

While there are no new games hitting the Media Create chart, sales of FFX HD actually went up 5%, moving the game from 10 to no.9 in the chart, passing 200,000 sales. Down the chart, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam crossed the 100,000 total sales mark.


PS Vita TV sales continue to slide, PSP clings on well as pretty much nothing interesting happened in Japan over the week.
