I believe there was a rumor that Microsoft plans on having Minecraft on as many platforms as possible.

a wiiU release will not be profitable.  wiiU is too much of a failure,.. minecraft too old,.. minecraft is on too many other devices for this to matter.  i'm just surprised.  it is cool they did but i don't see why anyone would greenlight this.

It's a pretty simple port of an insanely profitable ip. Maybe not worth the opportunity costs, but I'd be gosh darn shocked to see it not work out for them.

I'll be flabbergasted if MS lose money from this. Won't have been much to make the port at all

MS just gave WiiU a fighting chance to be second in sales this holiday!
