The PS3 isn't that good IMO. Also the XBOX 360 costs WAAAAY less than the PS3 (4GB RAM XBOX costs only $200 while PS3 costs around $300). Also IMO the controllers on the XBOX are much better than the PS3. On my PS3 controller, the analog sticks have a tendency to get stuck (like if I pulled backwards, it would stay backwards and the character in the game would move backwards and etc. etc.) And the PS3 internet isn't all that great concerning that it's free. When I played CoD on the PS3, I would have trouble cause it would randomly d/c much more than the XBOX, so multiplayer on it wouldn't be that great. Also another good feature on the Xbox is the ability to change your gamertag which you can't do on the PS3. And the XBOX has greater Arcade titles (IMO). ANYONE UP FOR SOME IKARUGA?
Some of that's just a matter of personal preference. I hate Xbox controllers. They're still too chunky for my tastes. PS2 controllers > PS3 >>> Wii Classic Controllers > Xbox/ Xbox 360 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wiimotes. That's my take on it. Also, there's much more games that I care about on the PS3. What did the 360 Minecraft add to the tally (for me)? 2? 3? 4 games worth getting on the 360? Oh, and you can change your nametag. You just can't delete old accounts. Just make another account and use a fake email address. I'm sticking with my PS3 anyhow. Free internet. More great games. Just wished Minecraft could of been Multi-platform for consoles (by that, I mean PS3/ 360, possibly the Wii U), but I'm pretty sure Sony would of tried the same **** on exlusivity.
"I don't plan to add a new dimension at the moment. It's just to performance heavy on servers, and the current dimensions need more attention before we start adding new ones." < Yeah, like biomes or actual varied terrain in the nether. Nether ruins didn't do the trick at all.
Probably because you posted a truly original suggestion that another person thought of weeks/months/years before, and to reduce the forum clutter; the admins merged your unique suggestion into a heap of all the other unique suggestions for easier browsing?
Minecraft on a console will suck. None of my friends with a Xbox are getting it.
The Console version is the closest to the PC Version and plus the game dont look half bad in the console your friends are probly XBox fanboys who only play FPS's in the Xbox but idk this is me speculating
I actually kind of agree with the first part of this, but the second part is terrible. Unless you're someone obsessed with the here and now graphics, just about everything before the Wii was awesome. Well, I don't know about Gamecube, hence why I said "just about," but how are they such a bad gaming company if they made the NES, SNES, or N64? They pretty much brought the gaming industry back to life back in the 80s as well. Anyhow, this little rant has been brought to you by someone who's Sony gamer nowadays.
Just to be on topic here, the Wii is indeed a terrible console for MC. The Wii U looks more suitable, but there's little stupid part where they signed a contract with Microsoft. I still feel that was a terrible idea. If Mojang was going to release MC on consoles, Mojang should of been trying to conquer all available platforms, not just the 360. I still think the PS3 and later on, Wii U would of worked.

Minecraft will never be on the Wii. Microsoft have bought the rights to have Minecraft only on their systems. It will only ever be on systems like the Xbox.
You are right about it never coming to the Wii, just not for the right reasons... The Wii is about to be replaced by the Wii-U, so it wouldn't be worth it...
Now, to the thing about the contracts. Contracts expire, so it could go to other consoles in th future, just not right now...
Personally, I think for anyone saying that Xbox/PS3 controls aren't a good fit for Minecraft, why not? It's pretty much a FPS for how it controls, and both consoles have plenty of these (the controls are better on Xbox though).
Also, look at most other games on PC... Pretty much all of them are compatible with a controller, which is usually a wired 360 controller, or one with a very similar layout to it and the PS controller...
Plus I think the Wii is an (almost) out of date console.
It's funny how the 360 is the oldest of the three consoles (and the best-selling for the better part of the last year), yet it's only the Wii that is considered nearly outdated...
Anyway, my opinion is that the 360 is the currently the best fit for a console version, and having it on any Nintendo console would just ruin it... Just look at any Call of Duty game that has been on the Wii. They uave sucked compared to the Xbox and PS3 versions. Black Ops 2 may be better though, but I doubt that... Either way, I'm sticking with my Xbox because it's the only place where you can play Halo (and the shooters on Xbox are generally better than PC and PS3 in my opinion)
Playstation or anything Sony could've had Minecraft, but they refused, and Nintendo sucks too much. The OUYA however, which is an Android-based console coming in April 2013, will likely have Minecraft. Jeb said he just needs proof it's good and community support. To support it, go here:http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1480424-minecraft-for-ouya-is-hopefully-coming/

When will Minecraft stop updating? When pigs fly over the frozen plains of hell, twice in a blue moon, while Taylor Swift sings a song called, "Maybe I'm the Problem".
But anyway I think Minecraft would do well on the Wii U since the Gamepad could be used as the Crafting system, Inventory, Creative Menu and more.
If only that damn contract wasn't signed "sigh"
Y'know, I think that contract only applies to Mojang making the game. Someone from the community could make a game like Minecraft for the Wii U, but it could not be called Minecraft due to copyright issues. Like DScraft, someone could make "Wii-craft" or "WiiU-craft" or something...
microsoft made a contract with mojang saying that they are in charge of puting mc on game consoles, so since they made it, they put mc on xbox 360 in hopes that more people would buy the xbox 360 since mc is a extremely popular game, so i doubt microsoft would be stupid enough to put it on all those other consoles, put using homebrew, you can get mc classic on psp/ds/3ds, and you can get the full using hacking process on ps3, i am hoping to make a port to wii's homebrew, i will post it here if i suceed!!!
es me off how people mix up the WII and WII U all the time. Wish Ninty had gotten more creative with the names... Anyway, damnit Notch, why you favoring Microsoft?
3DS has the same amount of power as an Android or iPhone at least, so a 3DS version would be like the pocket addition. The Wii is done for, but the Wii has been confirmed to have six time the amount of storage, optimization and strength as an XBOX 360. It also features an XBOX-like controller and a secondary "screen" for use, so from I can tell, if Mojang were to release MC on another console, it would PS3/4 or WiiU.

Or am I just being facetious here?
