 I dont know about that.

 There are hundreds of thousands of vector games out there in the wild.

Huh?  Hundreds of thousands?  Orly?

...and then take in to consideration that different manufacturers X/Y monitors don't work with each other (for the most part)... and you can see... it would be a huge losing proposition to "manufacture" new X/Y monitors.  I also think it runs counter to current law as I think CRT monitors under a certain size are now illegal to manufacture in the U.S.

Space Duel Cocktail : 1,019
Black Widow Upright : 1,550

Even with them all... and every one working... I'd be surprised if the number hit 200K which would be the point where it becomes "hundreds" of thousands.

... and what would you'r best guess be as to the percentage of Vector games still in operation?   Maybe 20% of the total number... maybe?  If that... and then there is the thing about the incompatibility between the different manufacturers... between color/b&w... etc... etc... etc...

Probably less than 20%. I would say that the above titles would possibly add 30000 to the total number of vectors. With Star Castle at 14,000 and Space Wars at 10,000 confirmed and an additional 20,000 that possibly sold. (how exactly does that happen anyway).
