Minecraft Has Many Millions More Monthly Players Than Fortnite; No Sequel Is Coming

After all this years, i am really glad that Minecraft exist, the community may suck, but the game is actually fun but it does require the player to do everything themselves, but hey if this what i takes to beat fornite to the ground them by all means, PLAY MINECRAFT PEOPLE!! or i dont know play Tales of vesperia remastered, onimusha remastered, RE 2 remake, Kingdom hearts 3, Devil may cry 5, BORDERLANDS 2 Handsome collection on ps4 WITH ME or anything

Something that pissed me off about map packs in COD or Battlefield. Its a great way to destroy the community forcing everyone to get map packs. The COD game is already fractured by tons of pointless modes. Another reason why people get bored of COD so quickly compared to counter strike. Is the perks. The perks are stupid in COD. Quick aim perk? Its so silly. CS doesnt have this stuff, so every kill is deserved. So every game is slightly different, compared to the last. Thus it consistently CS will always have more players than both COD and Battlefield combined. COD must hold the record for most sales to super small playerbase in mere months. Than any other game. What other game goes from 20 million sales, to a few thousand in a year , every year? If Black Ops 2....was so good, 500'000 people would still be playing it everyday and that suppose to be THE BEST call of duty....855 people sre playing it currently. Like theres barely 125'000 people playing a new COD release after a few mere months. CS 450'000 or so everyday......for the last 15 years..... theres more people playing the ORIGINAL CS than any of the older Battlefields or CODS. That says something.

There are games that come, make a statement and then go. Like (Fortnite), Destiny and Overwatch.

Then there are games that come make a statement and stay, like WOW and Minecraft.

I actually wish console companies would take a kinda similar approach with consoles these days. Me, I'd like to see consoles that genuinely have ten year plus lifespans and have a chance to live long and healthy lives much like the Game Boy did for example, largely because it was around and supported properly for so long, and that's regardless of technology moving forward in the meantime. The Sega Master System's and Mega Drive's/Genesis' long success in the likes of Brazil is another great example of the kind of lifespan and support I'm talking about.

I don't need a sequel. I just need a reason to play. I can jump into one of the procedural generated worlds and.....do what exactly? I can mine for precious materials, enchant my equipment, and defeat the Ender Dragon. But after that, what's there to do? I just think if there could be a story mode inside the sandbox environment, I'd have every reason to replay it.

I agree with them. There is no reason for making Minecraft 2. 1 part of this game is enough. If players want something, they will make it in the 1st part.

It's not only about number of active players, you should know that it's also about the traffic Fortnite has, and in that case it would be interesting to campare Fortnite, in terms of traffic, to, let's say, Facebook. Now this will be a great comprassion, not simple and obvious one you made in the article.

To be fair,Minecraft is around for a decade and Fortnite only a year (i guess) so this can be considered a huge win for Fortnite in comparison.

With saying that,i doubt that Fortnite has the potential to be a long running title like Minecraft.

As long as they keep updates coming and keep building on it, that's great to hear!

More devs need to learn to do this with on and offline games alike.. I mean not every game, or even a lot of them. But games where it makes sense. (open world, sandbox, action/adv RPGs, WRPGs etc.... also looking at you Rockstar.. *grumbles*)

What else could you possibly do in Minecraft 2? You already build anything you want.

It's good to see that someone values community. Well done.

-- It would be neat though if they could have worked in a building element into Dungeons. Crafting would be a natural fit but I could also imagine building elements to construct connective pathways, special sanctums, shops, etc, and special planned out scenarios like where the team is frantically defending off swarms of baddies, trying to collect enough materials and build a bridge to safety -- could be uniquely fun ;)

I never would have imagined that many people still play it. I never hear about it anymore and assumed it had mostly died down in popularity.

Ah, so when Fortnite beats Minecraft, Minecraft 2 is happening.

Got it.

Hear that destiny? There should never have been a part 2. Minecraft is smart to never fracture the playerbase.
