    Steve Watts posted a new article, Minecraft for PlayStation to be considered, Wii U 'unlikely'.

    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."
