Don't see why this game isn't on PSN. It's not like it wouldn't be profitable....

Don't worry, it'll probably make it's way to PSN eventually.  Microsoft has a tendancy of paying for timed exclusives which is a very smart strategy but I'm sure it will more than likely make it to PSN soon enough.

Well you could read through several posts in that thread, though it's mostly leaderboard data, mixed with sales estimations from Fade LLC (ioi has his hands in there. Though I'm not sure why this is seperate, but that shouldn't be my concern) and actual sales data.

A similar thread for downloadable Vita games exists here on VGC.

EDIT: Also if you own some of the games on that list that haven't been updated in months, I'd be happy if you could load them up and tell me how many gamers are on the leaderboards


Yeah I'll have to go check them out. Still shocked that we dont officiolly track them but yeah that is a different story.

And yeah I can do that sometime

Haven't checked Fade in a long time. Looks like they even got XBLA data, though they seem to be a bit outdated. Trials Evo is definitely too low.

I know that the priority was Android then Steam and now probably XBLA and after that PSN.

Well they just announced today that Trials Evo has sold 1 million.  I dont own Fade so I can't help you there.

Hopefully, if that happens, PS3 version will have the same features as the Xbox one does. I don't see why they couldn't

What walsufnir said actually is true.  I didn't even think about that.  PS3 may not have the ram to do it.  It is why they cant have party chats so it would make sense since minecraft has a huge world. They had to scale it down for 360 so they would have to scale it down even more for ps3

Doubt it. If that was true wouldn't someone from Mojang have publicly stated this?
But they didn't. In fact I don't think they've said anything about a possible PSN release.

PS3 and 360 have the same amount of RAM. They just work differently. Minecraft should easily be able to run on a PS3.

Who knows.  I say it will make it to PSN but you never know.  Hopefully it does though so as many people can enjoy it as possible

why should they state if publicly? did they state something about minecraft on wiiu? on 3ds? on vita? no?

and ps3 and 360 do not have the same amount of ram and vram is not the same. it *is* possible to use the vram on ps3 as something like normal ram but only in special cases. and even if, the os-footprint of ps3-software is higher than x360-dash.

minecraft relies heavily on ram - in fact that is the real reason why they had a lot of trouble porting minecraft to 360. not because of gpu or because of cpu.

I can't believe how big Minecraft is on 360. That's awesome for MS and Mojang(and that team that ported to console).

I've been playing it on my laptop since it was in beta. If you have the pc version, do yourself a favor and download the Tekkit pack. It'll change everything you ever knew about Minecraft.
