Heck, throw in 6 billion more and they could've taken control over Nintendo (by owning more than 50% of their shares).

What an obscene amount of money

It's going up I see. Good for the owner of Mojang. It's still idiotic for MS but good for that guy.

I doubt a deal like that would go through simply because the US government and Japanese government would likely block it. Would be cool to see though

Check the weekly numbers, PS3 version is doing pretty good and matching the 360 version on a weekly basis. Obviously the PS3 version wont stand toe to toe with the 360 version in the long run, but short term its doing well. With time, the PS4 and XB1 versions would be on the same level with retail releases.

With every platform they release on they make easy money. Every single platform.

Will no doubt be a system seller if it stayed exclusive, but as a franchise I think it will take an overall hit.

Good day for Microsoft Fans!

No it wouldn't be.

Stop it now Noble! >:(

talk about your epic waste of money.

Bet they dont spend 2.5B on 25 AAA First party games next year, Seems like a massive waste. But i hope it works out for them.

how the heck are they gonna get their money back from this??!

so stupid wtf, they could make 15+ new ips with that much
