Forums - Sales Discussion - How Microsoft saved Vita

From latest UK sales chart:

"‘Minecraft: Playstation Edition’ falls one place to No7, but sales are up 79% thanks to its release on Playstation Vita this week. The Vita release is the biggest Minecraft launch on a Playstation console, outselling both PS3 and PS4’s debuts. It is the third biggest debut ever on Vita, behind console launch titles ‘Uncharted: Golden Abyss’ and ‘FIFA Football’."

Minecraft owner: Microsoft

Now, Minecraft is known for its godly legs so an epic debut like this can only mean great things for its future. Get that Minecraft bundle out there, Sony and Microsoft!

By buying Mojang and Minecraft in the process, Microsoft has ironically saved Sony's Vita. Maybe that was their plan all along since they lack a handheld of their own?

Microsoft isn't the gaming company we deserve, but the one we need.



LOL Minecraft was coming before MS bought it.

That doesn't mean anything. Microsoft could have stopped it!

 

But they chose not to.

Wasn't Minecraft on its way to the Vita before the adquisition?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Minecraft has the firmest and strongest legs of any game, ever.

In all honesty i wouldnt mind Microsoft supporting the vita with some of their AA and Arcade titles like Kameo, Viva Pinatas, Minecraft, Ori and the Blind Forest, Max, Banjo, etc

I know it most likely would never happen but I wouldnt mind honestly




       

Does Minecraft Vita stand a chance to become the best selling Vita game? Maybe it can beat all Sony first party combined..
