Thanks, even on smartphones there shouldn't be that many games with more downloads than Minecraft sales.

4 free games have downloads over 500M

And no paid game is above Minecraft.

Minecraft is a juggernaut that is showing no signs of slowing down. Microsoft at this point must have turned the $2.5 billion acquisition into a nice profit. 

Yep, at the moment they bought it seemed like it had already reached market saturation so it was a bet of merchandise sales or that the sequel would generate as much sales. But it really kept selling and may really have paid back.
