Minecraft will arrive on PS3 before PS4

In a tweet update Minecraft console developers 4J Studios announced that they are spending their time getting Minecraft: PS3 Edition ready for testing, and that other platforms and the next update for existing versions will come later.

This led to a fan asking if Minecraft would be a PS4 launch title and the studio replied by simply saying ‘no, it won’t be a launch title’.

4J have announced upcoming versions of Minecraft for PS3, PS4, Xbox One and PS Vita, so there’s much to be looked at once the PS4 version is ready.

And really, who can blame them? Most ‘old’ people that like Minecraft, like myself, have it on PC, while the console crowd more typically skews younger.

Console Minecraft is a hit with the tykes, those not savvy enough to know about the reduced map size, so getting it spick and span on cheaper, current generation hardware makes sense from a business perspective.

No one will buy an Xbox One for Minecraft. Will they?

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
