I hope you aren't serious. If Minecraft is a fad then video games are dead. WTF?

I didn't even know there was a Gear VR version?
and I'm not one of them. Congratz though..
I've bought 4 copies, 360, mobile, ps4, and Xbox one. My daughter is the only one that plays though.

As far as I'm concerned, nothing matches the sense of exploration that Minecraft provides. Cresting a hill to see some insane natural formation in the distance, or spelunking deeper and deeper...and deeper into some huge cave formation.can someone explain what the appeal is? i did buy it years ago while it was in alpha/beta (can't remember exactly) and i was hooked building random stuff but got boring after a while. i can understand kids enjoying it but i know it's not just kids buying it. every time i'm on youtube there are always minecraft videos. i'm not hating on it but just curious what other people get out of it.
So, basically, like a fourth of the game's sales come from mobile? That shouldn't surprise me, I guess, but it really does for some reason.
K, I'll check that out.Tablet, I believe that there are no limits in that version of the map.

This is way too much fun. Built a bridge:
Pocket version is insanely popular. The amount of times I've seen kids sitting quietly on their parent's iPad and at least half the time it's minecraft they're playing.
Minecraft is just like a freaking unlimited Lego. I have no idea why Lego never did it before. It's the one game they should have made and they didn't.
I have no interest in this game...seems kids love it though? 100 million of them? wow!

And a bridge from modern Minecraft
I'd argue it's the ultimate role playing game, in the purest sense of the word. Want to be an explorer, or fight monsters, or do battle royales with friends, or learn the basic of programming with redstone, or recreate Manhattan to scale, and so onYeah, with all of the constant references to Lego, there's a tremendous underselling of the feeling of a living world that provides amazing exploration all around. I know I've spent hundreds of hours just getting lost in new seeds and setting up countless bases with my daughter as we roam the lands looking for the perfect spots to make our mark. MC is one of the most replayable video games ever made.
I mean, I get that. I truly do, but: Everytime I've played Minecraft for programs at work: I just get bored to death by the "gathering" materials to "craft" things with.
Honestly, I'd rather just mess with legos. At least there's no "hmmm, I need four wool to create a brick" going on there.
I thought maybe GTA V would eventually catch up to Minecraft sales. I can see that was a mistake.

Why not switch out of survival mode and just have everything at your fingertips?

Its behind only Tetris and Wii Sports for best selling game of forever.
I got in in 2009 on PC. Since then, I've bought it on Xbox 360 and PS4.
It sold more than Wii Sports.
This is what I love about the game, more than building stuff.
Those little caves that you start to explore and end up being huge underground caverns that takes hours to fully explore are always awesome.
Pretty sure that list only counts paid sales/downloads.Did Tetris even cost money on most of those "sales"? It was a pretty common game to be preinstalled on phones, or given as a promo.
Say one thing for Minecraft, it doesn't go on sale much (ie hardly ever). Even the mobile game stays at its $7 price tag all these years later.
Based on the mobile/PC/Console split on those graphs, revenue for Minecraft as a game is well over $1B ltd. The real money at this point is probably licencing though.
