What about the DS and the PS2?


I don't know. The baseline is 110 +- k per week. But that is only the console versions and only retail, and I suspect Minecraft has fairly high digital sales, so we can assume the console only baseline is 140 k with digital. On top of tgat there is PC sales, and Mobile sales, so it's safe to assume that combined across all devices it's baseline is ~200 k per week. That alone is 5 million a year, plus 40% of that extra for oct/nov/dec which means across all devices, Mineceaft sells roughly 7 million per year. It will get a decent boost from releasing on XBO and PS4 and Vita (lol) so maybe 9 million per year. It's currently at 54 million, so ot would take about 10 years at this pace to outsell either the PS2 or the DS.

I bet this was not the answer you were expecting

Nope, but I certainly appreciate your detailed analysis!
