Forums - Sales Discussion - Minecraft total sales hit 9.2 million

zarx on 25 May 2012

Minecraft has now surpassed nine million sales across all versions of the game.

Minecraft's PC, Android, iOS and Xbox Live Arcade editions have collectively sold 9.2 million copies, Mojang's business developer Daniel Kaplan wrote on Twitter.

Sales of the creative cube-based sandbox today hit six million for the PC version alone, creator Markus "Notch" Persson revealed.

Minecraft's PC sales show no sign of slowing, despite being available to download for over three years (including the game's early alpha and beta builds). Sales of the game's PC version totalled four million last November, meaning the game has shifted another two million copies in the last six months.

Global sales of Minecraft's Xbox 360 Edition hit one million within the game's first week on sale earlier this month, making it the fastest-selling Xbox Live Arcade game of all time. It's now even toppled Call of Duty: Black Ops as the second most-played game on Xbox Live.

Bet with Tbone51- He wins if the 3DS sells over 20million in 2013, I win if it falls short

 

Freedom!

Minecraft has unbelievable legs, what makes it funnier is the majority of sales have now occurred when the full version was released at a HIGHER price!

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
