Do you, or anyone else, think that Minecraft actually sells systems?

To me, it seems the other way around.

It's not: "OMG, Minecraft is coming out on PS4/XOne/Vita/Tablet/Toaster, gotta buy the console!!!"

But: "Hey, I already got a PS4/XOne/Vita/Tablet/Toaster, now that Minecraft is out, I'll get the game!"

 

every game sell systems to an extend

and why should a 12m+ game on xb360 not sell systems?

 

ofc it does.

it just not sell systems like some other AAA blockbusters do (giving nice sales bumps) but it increase the baseline and u get more people want ur console
