Minecraft for PlayStation to be considered, Wii U 'unlikely'
by Steve Watts, Mar 05, 2013 11:05am PSTMinecraft has been a hit on Xbox 360, becoming one of the chart-toppers on Xbox Live and most recently hitting the five million sales mark. Other consoles would probably enjoy some of that action, and for Sony it's a possibility. Nintendo? Not so much.
"Microsoft has an exclusivity deal for consoles," Mojang's Jens Bergensten told iGamer (via Edge). "When it runs out we'll consider Minecraft for PlayStation, but Wii U is very unlikely."
The interview didn't shed any light on just when that exclusivity arrangement might run out, but the game is coming up on its year anniversary in May. At that point, we might hear more about PlayStation plans.

Minecraft has an exclusivity arrangement with Microsoft still in effect, but when that runs out Mojang's Jens Bergensten says they'll "consider" a PlayStation version. A Wii U port, on the other hand, is "very unlikely."

In addition, I can't shake the feeling that a large number of Wii U owners are also PS3 or 360 owners, and that when making multiplatform titles at this point, you can count on technical parity across systems, but then the Wii U has its weird controller that (I assume) customers expect to do something, so making a Wii U version means extra dev costs to do something with the tablet.
