The article says 144 million copies of the game have been sold across more than a dozen platform. Notch's tweet is referring to the PC version only. At that time, the pocket edition had already sold +21 millions of copies.

The mods on PC make it pretty crazy. The new SevTech Ages modpack turns it into hundreds of hours of progression.

It's not bad. I put a couple hundred hours into it. It's fun, but it stales pretty quick.

My kids love it, I sometimes play with them, they're both under 10 but we've created some enormous environments. It gets old though, I only ever play when I'm being pestered to do so.
I think for kids though it's an amazing experience for engaging imagination through play and learning to think in a 3 dimensional way is brilliant.

It sure was a great way to kill some time at one of the countless flimsy MS E3 conferences. Maybe it'll be ready for the make-believe Hololens version.

That sucks. I've been playing Minecraft with the boyfriend and room mate. We all just got into it last month. Out of the blue I spoke to them about a Microsoft update to 4K. We looked at the teaser and got excited only to find out the pack never came on release day (November 2017) and still no update.
Oh well... Back to my treehouse that is in progress.

Verge had claimed they were over 50M sold at time of purchase.

Imagine of Minecraft 2 was next box exclusive

Nextbox and Window 10 store exclusive, cross platform play, built in streaming support, online store to buy mods and assets from various franchises you know and love. Want that Gears of War themed weapon pack? Or maybe a set of Sea of Thieves mod that gives you a custom pirate game mode? Server license sold separately.
I can imagine that would cause some waves.

I could see them doing PC, XBOX & Nintendo. It's massive IP to withhold if they want to. I think Minecraft is separate entity to itself but and mind share on every market and continuing to be such a massive game.

Has Microsoft fixed that mess they call Bedrock edition yet? Just look at the store reviews, yikes.
They have said they are not working on Minecraft 2, but instead expanding the existing platform. Minecraft will always be just Minecraft and will never be exclusive.

I thought I read somewhere that the PS4 version is not getting anymore major updates past aquatic. While it will not be exclusive, it might start to anger some users, if Sony still does not want to play ball on crossplay.

They (Mojang) are claiming to still be supporting the PS4 version, though they are certainly lagging behind.
