amp316 on 15 August 2014

Give him a break.

Notch Johnson's career has really gone downhill since Son of the Beach.

Who are Notch again?

Exactly.

Some random guy who made a game which is consider " teh shitz" by kids!


But at the rate of which it's selling, it might outsell the Wii

Can't people make a joke any more? I mean, it wasn't funny but the guy should at least be allowed to try!

I remember being on the other end of such jokes in the early PS3 years. *BOOM HEADSHOT!!!*



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

What about the DS and the PS2?

Who cares. Minecraft is for casual gamers. The guy's opinion means less than my morning bowel movement.

It was just a joke and he admits it but that's really douchey just like EA



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

RIP Iwata 12/6/1959-7/11/2015

I don't know. The baseline is 110 +- k per week. But that is only the console versions and only retail, and I suspect Minecraft has fairly high digital sales, so we can assume the console only baseline is 140 k with digital. On top of tgat there is PC sales, and Mobile sales, so it's safe to assume that combined across all devices it's baseline is ~200 k per week. That alone is 5 million a year, plus 40% of that extra for oct/nov/dec which means across all devices, Mineceaft sells roughly 7 million per year. It will get a decent boost from releasing on XBO and PS4 and Vita (lol) so maybe 9 million per year. It's currently at 54 million, so ot would take about 10 years at this pace to outsell either the PS2 or the DS.

I bet this was not the answer you were expecting

Nope, but I certainly appreciate your detailed analysis!
