| Mr Khan said: It's not an issue of it being Japanese and more of the massive bridge between those who work on PC (even if they may not bear Nintendo any malice, PC-devs usually just consider them a non-factor) and Nintendo. Not since the days of Doom and Duke Nukem 3D getting ports to Nintendo systems has Nintendo cared much about what was going on in the PC community, and likewise a divergence on the PC side. |
Minecraft has gone far beyond PC now, as proven by the Xbox 360 Edition selling over 8 Million units.
I think were all forgetting something here, too.
Mojang didnt develop the 360 version of Minecraft. Mojang didnt have the dev power. Microsoft approached them, licensed the game and got 4J Studios to develop it for 360. This is why there was an exclusivity agreement and the game wasnt on PlayStation (Or Nintendo). Notch makes lots of money. Microsoft make lots of money. Both parties happy.
