All MC relies on is RAM.  That's about it.  A $30 GPU and 6 year old mid-range CPU can max it out at 120 FPS as long as the PC has 3GB of RAM.  If it has 2 though, it will be more than cut in half.

Also I know that comment was sarcasm, but what that comment fails to realise is that MC graphics are decieving.  It does have very real system requirements.

I thought about being able to pull up recipes. That's not too game breaking, as apposed to maps and inventory which I feel changes the dynamic of the game too much. You should not be able to see zombies and skells coming at you when you pull up a map or inventory. The work around there I guess is that if you pull up a map or the inventory it shows it on both screens.

PS Vita has the same amount of RAM as the 360, so I'm not sure I actually understood your comment. About a 6 year old mid-range PC maxing it out at 120FPS if it has enough RAM, no way, the game is much more CPU bound than anything. You can max it with a 2GB Geforce GT 610 if you want at 60FPS, but you need a powerful CPU to make it happen. 120FPS, you need at least a mid-range current GPU.

well WiiU can't handle the grapix

Edit: damn! I thought I had gotten away with being the first to post this

LMAO my sub $300 netbook runs it fine with a dual core E-350 at 1.6 GHz.  Yeah I forgot AMD's Brazos line of cpus were beasts!  Wow...

Edit:  Oh and the Vita has 25% more ram than the 360...

I'm sorry, but the mere fact that you couldn't tell I was being sarcastic, even with the extra "Obviously" at the end, and then a winking smiley on top of that..........makes it so worth posting what I did. :)

I could tell.  Duh.  

It's easier and cheaper to develop on vita than U, wich make, no matter the small userbase, vita deving a good investment.

i though the WiiU was very indie friendly? i mean, there's like 20-30 indie games coming out in the next month or 2

Never has much as vita, Shahid Ahmad alone had 40 indies signing contracts for deving on vita in one month.
