I probably would be a good idea. They probably already made there money on the franchise. And releasing on XB1 and PC alone would generate enough to keep MS happy.
Plus it adds another must have exclusive to the XB1 lineup. Considering Sony buying Kojima's service, it wil go well for MS to have the 3rd biggest franchise in gaming history to counter his release.
No Mincraft is not a big system mover.
If it's an exclusive they would lose a big part of the game sale
PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m
Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
Their would be no really minecraft 2 (as in a sequel). They just update the game, it is now almost at 1.9 and then it will update to Minecraft 2.0 with no cost like always...
If there is a Minecraft 2, they will need to make it available for PC and Android/iOS so no..

I don't think it's a good idea. The platforms that dont get it will still keep buying and playing the regular minecraft. And even on pc the community night just stay on that. Actually minecraft 2 doesn't really make much sense. It's like releasing a tetris 2 or solitaire 2. The first will suffice!
It should launch on Xbox first, other consoles later, and they should charge Sony/Nintendo an extra royalty. In this case, the more people play the game, the better. Minecraft 2 won't do nearly as well as the first so they should get it into as many hands as possible.
No, they would lose 10's of millions of sales doing that. (Not that I expect MS to do a MC2)
| AbbathTheGrim said: 1. The first game is HUGE on PC, selling more than 20 million copies on Windows and Mac. 2. Do you think that maybe Microsoft will opt to make it Xbox console exclusive to move hardware? 3. Perhaps timed exclusive on Xbox and later give it a Windows release? 4. Do think there is space for Micro to release Minecraft 2 on other platforms besides Xbox and Windows PC? |
1. It's not just Windows and Mac, it's also Linux - and if there are any other similar operating systems than run Java, I imagine it should work on those as well.
2. I doubt it but it's possible.
3. Now this is definitely a possibility.
4. Absolutely. You should reverse the question for the answer to not be so obvious.
Title: No, definitely not. And imagine the backlash... Yeah no, it would be just stupid without one of the best PR campaigns in the industry ever.
Then again, even Minecraft 2 itself is a worthwhile question. Given how the game has evolved, it would be hard to release a sequel that's not different enough compared to the original. And with a game of Minecraft's scope, it's going to take a lot of resources to craft a sequel that evolves the concept enough.
Don't thinks so. That game sells everywhere. maybe some additional content exclusive to xbox but that's it.
