lol, I hope you guys know, Minecraft is only on Xbox because Sony did not want to pay for the right to have Minecraft on PS3. So actually, Sony had the chance to have Minecraft on PS3, but declined. Instead, Microsoft jumped on the offer.
As popular as Minecraft is, you still have to remember that it is an indie game, and they probably aren't capable of porting Minecraft to every console like big-name publishers can.
Besides, does it really matter which console it is exclusive to? It's going to be an exclusive either way.
Well not really a rage but I think partnering with Microsoft was a fairly bad idea. Why you may ask? Because of the word "Exclusive". Microsoft just LOVES having them, we all know this. But this now means less people would in turn have access to playing Minecraft (not everyones computer can run it to the point of it being bearable).
If Sony had partnered first I can see Minecraft then being released for the Xbox (as I honestly don't see Sony being as uptight about having a game, that is as open-ware as you can get IMO, release for another console).
Not only that but Microsoft already tried to mimic Minecraft using the Xbox Avatars. I can only see Microsoft eventually making Minecraft on the Xbox less of Mojang and more Microsoft by adding in Avatar/Xbox features.
I can see Minecraft integrating well with PS Home. Just saying.
the whole top half of this message is great, but are you kidding me with the last bit? not trying to be rude but people do have the same ideas, i dont even remember hearing anything about minecraft until after xbox had released the avatars. im sure they didn't mimic minecraft over that one
*To all those "Nice" PS3 or whatever the hell it's called now people this is not directed towards you, just the dicky people who get all Butt Hurt when I say Xbox is cool.*
Are you kidding me? exclusive to xbox? congrats mojang, you just lost quite a few customers. I dont know about you guys, but I am NOT buying and xbox just for minecraft.
What's the point in consoles anyway? There haven't been any good ones since the PlayStation 2 (That's not a typo, it's 2 - TWO) and Minecraft is and always should be a PC game. X-Box and PS3 are both terrible, neither are deserving of any good games, let alone the greatest ever invented.
*Pat on the back*
In a few words, you've just described my exact feelings.
**God I love flame wars. It's funny cuz I have a PS2, and an older generation of Xbox 360.... so I don't really care for the new one, or the PS3... **

That's why it's on a thing called a computer. Google it. On your computer.

yet another xbox "exclusive" really sucks for people who bought a better system *cough cough* ps3 *cough cough* and cant play another great game... microsoft is too greedy and needs to share. im pretty sure we learned that in elementary school... but whatever ill happily but anything other than microsoft, including the laptop im on right now...
O,M,G that is **** because they didn't make it an actual game...they made xbla so people that don't have a good pc can't play itD: a.k.a giving more money to microsoft to buy more stuff.

Wait who knows this? i believe that would be Playstation Ragers... since half the time when people tell someone why PS3 > Xbox360, i hear them say "Playstation has better exclusives" and actually, Playstation also has MORE exclusives.... UNLESS you want to be all technical and directly say MICROSOFT does, in which case its ridiculous, seeing as 99% of them exclusives are on PC.
All gaming platforms have issues. both ps3 and xbox 360 are not an exception. I own both Ps3 and 360 and I have to say that, I dont agree with this. 1) Because most of my friends that play minecraft do not have a 360, only ps3 2) I enjoy using my ps3 more than my 360 due to it being free to play.
Now, whats going to turn ALOT of people off of this version is the fact that ....their friends wont be able to play with them as in my case. They are cutting off an entire platform's memberbase from minecraft.....and In my opinion thats not what minecraft is about. Its about being creative any way you can....with some survival mixed in. NOw its....BE creative as long as you have an Xbox 360 or a Well spec computer.
Just my two cents. I will buy the 360 version non the less but I would have also bought a ps3 version as well if it were to come out. Just so I can experience it with my friends who have a ps3
However you cant fault Microsoft or Mojang...business is business and money is money.
Mojang gets letter from microsoft
"If you make it exclusive, you can put minecraft on 360, and we pay you to do so"
"If you dont make it exclusive, u dont get money or mc on 360"
So why get angry? also 360 is known for having a better arcade, if u want arcade games, u likely have a 360 anyway.
Doesn't anyone else think that this completely goes against Mojang's goal? I mean, they made Minecraft, with the idea that "graphics aren't everything. A fun game needs to have some sort of revolutionary gameplay concept". They also are their own publisher, release Minecraft multi-platform, downloadable, and DRM free, because they feel it's important.
Then, they go and sign an exclusive deal with Microsoft, one of the very unstoppable giants they're trying to fight against and be different from? Sounds like selling out to me. You'd think Minecraft would release across all major consoles, or not release at all.

ps3 good exclusives, killzone, heavy rain, uncharted
360 good exclusives, halo, gears of war, countless arcade games (and some of them are dam good) and, (i believe its crap but many love it) the fable series, mass effect series (is also on pc, but this is a console battle, and pc isent involved), forza motorsport 3
360 has great exlusives, ps3 has great exclusives, 360 has more, ps3 has equal great exclusives.
So would u rather, good + 50, or just good?
so 360 is better for exclusives.

At the very least, if the consoles cannot connect to servers via IP hosted on PCs then its going to cut the PC player base by 50%.
Both are lose / lose.
