It's curious that with Minecraft, a Microsoft game exists on a Sony console. Kind of like back in the late Nintendo-Rare days during the transition, when some games made by Rare (then just bought by Microsoft) were being released for the GBA-DS.

I really wish Microsoft would persuade Nintendo on releasing Minecraft on their system, that would be a huge Megaton as well.

What's the deal about Minecraft and Nintendo?

The game would sell gangbusters on both systems. I know MS are very open on letting multiplatform games/apps remaining so.

I think I find that quite interesting, nothing wrong with thinking that.

Nintendo doesn't want to publish it. Which they need to do to have it run perfectly with their hardware.

I added another one of those sales. My 6 year old kept asking for the PC version to play with mods.
I'm kinda shocked it still runs on Java... Jurassic craft 2.0 wouldn't start because Java ran out of virtual memory on my 16 GB laptop, wth. Crazy craft crashes regularly as well. It's also the first game that has managed to completely lock up my laptop forcing a hard reset. The game that brought Windows 8 down.

MS know how to pick them. Minecraft was a clear profit investment. Congrats to Minecraft and Mojang and congrats to the guys at MS to pick this franchise up. This game is the 3rd highest selling game in the history of gaming. Very good pick up indeed.
