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.

Minecraft dominates PSN sales

No surprise who is number one when it came to PSN in November, with the Vita edition proving the most popular, likely by far. But since we don't get any download numbers from Sony (shame the Sony Studios hack didn't pick any of this stuff up), who knows who dominant it really was.

I've just started getting back into Killzone and am pleased to see it at No. 2. Surely the game, which also remains in the top three of the retail chart on a permanent basis, has made enough money for Sony to consider rolling out another episode. Even if it just reuses scaled-down assets from the PS4 version with new mission goals?

Freedom Wars is doing consistently well, there's a useful comment in the PSN blog post for these numbers, listing all the players across the different ranges. It adds up to 8,500 just about which suggests that's about the best Sony can hope for in sales of big Vita games (excluding people who play exclusively offline). Guessing that's EU only but still pretty grim!
