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!"

 

It depends.

I've had several friends who have opted to purchase a console just for minecraft and because a ton of their friends play on the console and not on the pc.
