Minecraft Vita is great. Only thing I dislike is the lack of physical release here unlike Japan and Europe

Man, I think this game would sell 1 million on microwaves, toasters or anything if MS can figure out how to get it working on them. 



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.  

 

 

 

 

I am on the other side of my sig....am I warm or cold?  

Marco....

I would have thought the digital version would have a bigger portion of the sales, but it's one million nonetheless, so congrats.Now to wait for the game to reach one million in Europe too.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

There'sa joke to be made about Microsoft supporting the Vita better than Sony.



Love and tolerate.

Lol its published by Sony and the deals were ironed out with mojang before they ever bought the series.  

 

Thanks Sony!  

 

OT: incredible performance by this game in Japan.  It's well over 2m WW too.  Probably around 2.5m including digital.  Will cross 3m easily.  

 

I wonder how high it can go in Japan.  



A shame Minecraft isn't on 3DS, it could be a +3 million seller in Japan, for not even talk about Worldwide. :-/

...Congrats Vita though.
