“Microsoft has an exclusivity deal for consoles,” said Bergensten, who is lead designer of Minecraft Pocket Edition for iOS and Android. ”When it runs out we’ll consider Minecraft for PlayStation, but Wii U is very unlikely.”

I seem to remember him saying this a while back? Maybe not.

Anyway, get it on Vita as soon as that exclusivity runs out, plix.

Would probably buy it on PS3/4 if it came out as well. Playing couch co-op with friends on the 360 version was an unexpected delight that I really enjoyed.

That's a shame, I was considering getting it for WiiU if if had 2nd screen crafting to save some time.

Yup. Offline multiplayer has and always will be a delight experience. In my humble opinion, way more entertaining than online multiplayer.

wiiU can't handle minecraft's graphics....

meh.

It's a shame they are not considering a WiiU version. The Tablet controller could work with Minecraft.

Your loss Mojang:

He will just avoid losing money with a Wii U'version which won't sell very much like others 3rd parties games.

Btw... this has to do with dev support and not anything else.

MS licensed the game and developed it in house. More than likely Sony has in some fashioned agreed that once MS license is up and it can be on another console, they will do the same and have a small dev team port to PlayStation. More than likely that means PSN and it will be a cross platform game for them.

Then we all know how cheap Nintendo is and they likely see no value in adding a team for it as its not an exclusive game and gives them no advantage in the marketplace.
