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?

Japanese PS4 sales off to the races, what effect on Vita?

That's an awesome start but instantly opens up the question of will Remote Play help Sony shift even more PS Vita handhelds? With sales heading down off an awesome seasonal run, what will PS4's impact be?



While its a bit of a stretch to ask most gamers to buy two consoles at once (there are still no official PS4/Vita bundles) we should find out tomorrow if it nudged Vita sales a little higher, or will interest in the Vita die off now? In the long run, with Japan's superb mobile infrastructure, the temptation to play your game at home and then carry on while commuting or during breaks, has to be a pretty strong one.
