i've been avoiding posting but... ...for ms to not play the take-away game with minecraft is pretty cool. i mean,. it probably would have destroyed the franchise but to publically commit to keeping their newly aquired 1st party franchise on playstation, android, and iOS when they are in direct competition with those platforms is awefully generous of them. no idea how ms is going to re-coup 2.5 Billion dollars on this purchase, i really think this is a terrible purchase for ms, but props for still supporting the existing userbase dispite the conflict in interest. |
I think that's the main reason why MS isn't pulling the Minecraft plug on Playstation platforms. The PS3's userbase is a bit larger than the 360's and the PS4 has sold twice as much as the X1. That's a lot of customers MS will be missing out and consequently, hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
