Don't make excuses for why acquiring Minecraft was awesome, as if it affects you in any way, shape, or form. Imagine nearly 8 GTAV caliber games only available on XBOne. Increased XBOne sales, bigger userbase, which, then, draws in even more exclusive content. But no; Minecraft. |
You make a good point. But there are some issues:
- That's 52M on 5 platforms. At best, a game of similar scope would be less than half, even on Xbox 1/360 and PC combined.
- Rockstar owns GTA. It took 5 years of development just to make one game as big as GTAV. Is it realistic of Microsoft to make 8 before this generation ends?
- They would all have to be new IP. Minecraft is a known quantity.
- Chances that Microsoft could make 8 x GTAV sized games in a row?
- Microsoft isn't hard up for $265 million they spent 5 times that on Xbox 360 repairs and 10 x that on Minecraft.
