Isn't even a rounding error. Sorry, but even I have to laugh.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Lower than I would have expected it considereing the mass appeal of MC. but 2m is still a good number.

mobile sales are ofc over 2m already.
but i don't know, why microsoft did not port the game to the 3ds and just went for the wiiu
i hope the nx will get a minecraft port as the 3ds successor

Minecraft doesn't need much raw graphical power, but it needs quite a bit of ram - probably too much for the 3DS

That's basically it.  The 3DS is a pretty weak handheld and it's why they never got minecraft.  No doubt NX will get it.  But I wonder will Microsoft allow it ported straight away or not.  They might not want to assist the NX become a force and a rival but who knows.  They've not been as aggressive as they used to be. 



3DS might be able to run the Pocket Edition but certainly not the full experience.



Minecraft on 3DS would add another 2m.
