Flopped? LOL! C'mon the game has legs for over 4 years now. I'm pretty sure it'll sell crazy amounts and they should do a minecraft bundle. Kids will eat that up.

I'm 100% sure that most of Minecraft's sales are digital, Spurgey.. Besides, the game will have very good legs!

Minecraft is a huge reason why Xbox is a brand name kids know. My kids are 7 and 5 and all their friends associate MC with Xbox. It was a brilliant move by for MS to buy it. And the IP isn't even close to be saturated. There is so many ways you could go with it. With MS marketing the growth is huge.

That's the thing it doesn't really matter what console sells more it's all the same for MS. Sales are sales.

It released digitally on Xbox One like 2 months before the physical release, and it's been near the top of Xbox One's digital charts since release. It's not surprising that the physical version didn't sell amazingly well. I'm kind of surprised and disappointed though that MS didn't do a casual/family friendly bundle for the Holiday season, a bundle with Minecraft and another casual/family oriented game seems like it would have been a no-brainer to me.

That has to be happening for Dec.
