Minecraft could be coming to PlayStation but is unlikely to arrive on Wii U, Mojang’s Jens Bergensten has revealed.
“Microsoft has an exclusivity deal for consoles,” said Bergensten, who is lead designer of Minecraft Pocket Edition for iOS and Android. ”When it runs out we’ll consider Minecraft for PlayStation, but Wii U is very unlikely.”

Hopefully MC is a cross-play, cross-buy title with VITA and PS3/PS4.
Minecraft released on the 9th May 2012 on 360, which means if MS paid for a years exclusivity we could potentially see it on Playstation this summer.
Who would have even thought that MC would be a system seller...Dont be surprise to see MS throw more monaey at Mojang.
Edit @ Juju - Yes a MC PSvita would be awesome and would move Vitas...I amnot sure why Sony has not approached Notch with this.
A grand total of no one?
Minecraft plays on basically any computer. And they actually keep up with updates on the PC.
Although i'm not too fond of Minecraft I still acknowledge the success it has found on PC and on the 360. So a game like this is always welcomed.
No Wii U version for Nintendo just paints a negative image on the company. ;)
Now if we can just get Grand Theft Mario in production...
I'm not saying 155 million people are going to buy the game, but just on default it's guaranteed to sell more the Wii U fanbase combined.
Take PS3 for example, in the beginning it lacked major support, and look how people and the media regarded it, nothing more than a expensive blu ray player! I sony are the ones who should be commended for turning their fortune around, they still have a ways to go, but they have stayed the course even after massive loses.

LoL that was a great episode
would love to give MineCraft it's well deserved shot, really fond of games that allow creative flows to burst from within.
I would rather buy a console from North Korea, China, Korea before I buy anything Sony.
The fact you say china or north korea makes me think you are 13yrs old and have no real concept of what you're saying.
Its just a company. Let me guess you are fine with M$ anti trust anti consumer lawsuits and support M$ is those right. I mean you sound so bitter maybe you need to take a vacation or something these are Video game machines we're talking about.
All 3 systems are made in China, anyway...no matter which you choose, you're giving China money. With so much commerce between Japan and the US, you're frankly not rooting for or against either country by wishing it less economy over the other.
And did you seriously just compare China, North Korea, and "Korea" (S. Korea, I assume you meant)?
I'm happy when any game that was once exclusive goes multi-plat, as it means that more people can play it. That's why we play games, not to further the interests of some multi-conglomerate corporation.
Not healthy.
I hope no more games go to Sony because Im an MS fanboy.
My point was that yes, you will find this type of fanboyism on n4g.
Everybody's different, I don't like gaming on a pc. Assuming everybody games on a pc is where your opinion hit the fan.
I love my game consoles (own them all), but I didn't buy Minecraft on Xbox 360... because I have it for my 5 year old laptop, and it runs perfectly fine there. Although, to be honest, I've considered getting the Xbox version just because it has split-screen play, so I could play with my GF, but never did in the end.
I'm not that interested in minecraft. I have a laptop that can run minecraft, but I hate my laptop, plus I don't like gaming on pc's
But I'm half interested in what all the fuss is about with this game.
If it happens to pop onto my console, then i might try it out. Why not. And if its on vita, that would be pretty cool actually, cos there's not many games I play on my vita.
Is that unreasonable?
I agree. That was a childish thing to say. A lot of people don't game on PC's, so if this comes to PS3, it might be a chance for them to try it out.
Damn, people will turn something into a PS3 fanboy problem in a second around here.
Sure, shadow, I see your point. But you haven't been sitting, waiting with bated breath for it. You're mildly interested.
Which was according to them, because, "Nintendo should know that a game like that should not be exclusive to anybody! Grrr Rabble Rabble!"
So, should Microsoft know that games like "MineCraft" should not be exclusives?
Your logic, not mine.
I don't understand why it wouldn't come to the Wii U later. I mean, I guess its got a low install base now but give it sometime and it makes a lot of sense. Off-TV, touch screen allows more item mapping, etc.
They come up with every excuse, however legitimate, not to come out with games for it! "It's a powerful machine alright," "oh, we are considering this and that," "Gamepad is really unique and, oh sorry I have to go take a crap."
It's done.
The should make all Nintendo clones of other popular games, even though I don't particularly care for all of them:
Call of Mario: Mushroom Warfare... 7 (The Mario series IS one of the greatest and earliest implementation of Power-ups/perks ever in gaming to be honest though)
Princess Peach and the Palace of Pus... wait, that one's a private thought.
Zelda on Zombie Island (note to self, include Princess Zelda in previous thought above and adjust age appropriately)
Pokemon... it was Gears of War before Gears of War was Gears of War, I don't know how, but it is...
I'm done, please rate on a comedic scale of 1 to 10 below, 1 being the most funny and 10 being the most funny and all the numbers in between being the most funny:
I got my mind messed up after that
