Forums - Gaming - Is Minecraft coming to the PS4 at launch, but not the XBOX ONE?

Yeah it's strange how they won't come at the same time. I only care about the Vita version though



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

PS4 is easy to develop and the Xbone Devkits are not shipped in time

I think that sum the reason.

or maybe the xbox one edition will be another version of minecraft (with different mods you can use) and ps4 will get the xbox 360 version.

i don't think "xb1 edition" means the same version the 360 already has.

at least i think microsoft and mojang made a new deal for minecraft on next gen and i don't think the deal is "put the same game on ps4 and earlier as on xb1"




i hope its not the x360 version port, the ps4 is practically a gaming computer, it can handle full minecraft : / count me out if its the shit edition.



 

Anyone know when the Vita version is coming out?

I don't know but the only new feature I can see is Kinect support and from the desctiption for Xbone Edition...

Ya, seems weird. But hey, 360 still raking it in. Retail version selling at nice pace.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Also I saw people were going in the other thread, "Oh those Sony fanboys, thinking Minecraft is a killer app, tee hee hee!"

As far as being relevant, Minecraft is pretty close to that. Look at how it has sold on the XBox 360. Look at how much the clones sold in the Indie market on XBOX Live Marketplace. It is pretty close to this. And I was surprised to see at Gamescom that it ended up getting announced. Sony obviously felt it mattered.

As it is now, I am seeing Minecraft, Angry Birds, and add Candy Crush, to three major titles that came out. Plants vs Zombies also is getting up there. Short of Call of Duty, these IPs ARE the top stuff that have come out this era, and all Indie-ish in nature. Explains why you see everyone bending over backwards to kiss the backside of Indie developers and at least pay them lip service.

yeah but as example ps4 could get only the small map of the 360 version and xb1 the bigger map like we have on pc. that is obviously stupid but if mojang and microsoft have a deal there will be differences. maybe they don't even have a deal and i just think so because of this "xb1 edition" which let me believe it.
