Minecraft Xbox 360 selling 17,000 copies per day

 more people play the dreamcast than PC

 @tenz01

 all PC gamers can do is look at games like uncharted 2 and the millions of other games that companies just wont put on PC, because theres only 5 of you out there.

 @tenz01

 If COD4 is so amazing on PC why was it outsold by consoles 50 to 1

 @RawhideSphinx FPS titles again?

FPS on consoles are like the special olympics. I dont know why you keep using them as if they are an advantage to you. I remember when the #1 console COD4 team tried to compete in cevo. They didn't even make the playoffs and couldnt win more than 50% of matches.

Back on topic, if you did a little research you would understand that all the "great" gaming titles were essentially before this big console boom that happened with 360 and ps3. Any true gamer can tell you that they don't make the games with the quality that they used to, and this is because the quality demand by console gamers has gone to shit. Since most big publishers develop games for consoles and port them over to PC, we get stuck with the shitty quality that console gamers demand. They're willing to buy the same re-hash games every year for $60, why would publishers worry about making a good game?

However, why is it that PC only games always seem to be better quality, better graphics, and better support from its developers and community?

Keep living on the hopes that GOW or Halo gives you... we look at those games and laugh at what console gamers call "shooters"

 @tenz01

 So PC gamers can spend $2000 on a PC, 300 on a chair 1000$ on monitors etc, but cant pay for games and when companies dont put games on PC they complain...The system works.  How does Uncharted, GOW, Gears, Halo, and the millon other games only found on consoles look on your PC.?

 @muchakachaka Your kidding right? My quad core 2.3 ghz with AMD Radeon? HD 6520G can run mw3 on an average 45-60 fps and it's an $500 laptop. It's probably cheaper now. 

 @RawhideSphinx  @muchakachaka PS3 and 360 are just too limited.. I look at PS3 and 360 as "amateur" gaming while the PC can be a lot more limitless on what we can do.

Playing on a monitor? I can play on 3 monitors if I want.. I can play on a single 32inch monitor, or I can play on a 50inch HD TV... its all the same. In fact, my 32inch monitor can put more higher resolution than an HDTV.. therefore better graphics than any console.

Squeaky chair? I have a $300 chair that feels like a cloud even after 8 hours of playing. I can also use my wireless sets to play on a couch.

You see thats the difference in PC gaming.. we aren't restricted while consoles are.

Consoles are also restricted by the terrible hardware in their devices... i mean terrible hardware. This in turns restricts PC gaming a bit too because of games being developed on console SDKs and then ported. 

To each their own tho... all great ways of passing time. Some of us just have a close mind.

 @tenz01  @muchakachaka

 I have a 2000$ PC but like I said people stopped playing games on their PC in the 90's. PC's are for surfing the net, actually I do that more on my PS3...there for people to update their facebook and check emails and write term papers.  I'll stick to playing my PS3 and 360 from my soft couch and 55 inch tv.  hows playing on you monitor and squeaky chair. 

 @muchakachaka Very true.

Its hard to convince your mother to drop $2000 on brand new PC to spank amazing FPS... every 4 years.

The adults who do it on their own.. don't pay for many games and especially on games like MW3 which was just like BO, which was just like MW2... and BO2 will be no different.

Us PC gamers stopped playing COD after COD4.. thats when the consoles took it over and drop the franchise to the ground. It was a great game when it was PC only.

 @no_pants_4_u rofl, that was hilarious.  I enjoy humiliating bumbling idiots who haven't got the slightest idea what they are talking about, especially when they make me reply multiple times, it entertains me.  Stop taking discussions on a gaming website so seriously, it's just a bit of fun.  Your animosity and the "I'm only 12 years old" insults are ridiculous.  Take care!

 @iamrob7  Rob, you sound like a jackass who has WAY too much time on your hands. Congrats on proving a kid (who's most likely around 8 years old) wrong every which way and coming off as a complete jerk in the process. Apparently being a D-bag on the internet gets you off, which is pretty sad.

The thing is, you can still be right and not be jerk about it, but apparently you enjoy being a clown/virgin. Have fun with that, I'm going to the beach with my girlfriend (Judging from your condescending posts, I'm sure you don't encounter the word 'girl' or 'date' too much in your personal life).

Don't bother replying as I won't waste my time to read your no doubt 6 page long retaliation post where you try to put me down and reassert yourself as someone who actually has something intelligent to say . Suffice to say, get a life, loser. Now you feel pretty dumb, right? (Sorry, just HAD to quote you!) 

Have a nice day!

 @Pr0ving4Gr0undz So you are happy to accept your comment was completely irrelevant and erroneous in terms of this news story then?  Well that's good. Presumably you just chose to randomly post that completely irrelevant and erroneous comment here by sheer coincidence then.  lol.  Unfortunately for you, your comment was incorrect either way.

As I said already, in regards to your now "general" comment that is entirely unrelated to minecraft.  EA made more out of the PC this year that any other platform.  In 2011 the PC was the single largest platform for games sales by a huge margin and the PC games market (excluding social/casual games) was almost as much as every single console and handheld combined.  I expect in 2012 this margin is even greater.  (Source - Newzoo, whose clients include almost every major company in gaming)

So no, you are completely wrong on all counts.  Even by pitifully backing out of your original intentions, you still fail miserably.  

 @Pr0ving4Gr0undz That's odd... Blizzard must be having a lot of trouble with their bills.

 @iamrob7 I took a look at your comment even before I posted my first comment, tho I did not click on the link. All I said was that developing for consoles is where the money is at and we both know that is true regardless of minecraft, even I.D. said that consoles pays the bills. 

Btw I have never played minecraft before. 

 @Pr0ving4Gr0undz Seeing as you still lack the ability to scroll down a little to where its far more clear, I guess I'll paste it here yet again.  Minecraft sold 13,000 copies on the PC in the last 24 hours and continues to do so every day (if you want the source, scroll down the page a little).  It has been out on the PC since 2009.  The Xbox version is selling 17,000 copies a day and it has been out for less than a year.  Now you feel pretty dumb right?

As for Crysis 2, retail numbers are completely meaningless for the PC as the vast majority of PC sales are DD.  Retail numbers are all you have.  DD numbers are not released and don't chart.  With EA having just recently announced that the PC was their biggest market in the last year probably means it did fairly well though, despite it being received fairly poorly as a game by the PC community.  

 @Frosty192 Oh, yes, it can be denied. I love my PC, and I love PC gaming, but PC gaming's dependence on Steam and Origin has made it the laughing stock of the gaming community. Even I, a PC gamer of 20 years, barely buy anything for it these days because of this.

 @jamyskis I know I did but you can't deny that PC is more superior it is a fact and I am sick of hearing the console fanboys squirt nothing but bs from their mouths. I have all current gen consoles but I keep going back to the PC because I can do everything on their. I do however, use the amazing 360 controller for some games :P

I posted this down below twice already.

The PC version has been on sale since March 2009 as an alpha and then as a beta in late 2010.  It had sold around 4 million copies already before the Nov 2011 release date.
