As the question above. 

Did MCXBLA affect the hardware sales AT ALL??? 

You know since Minecraft somehow managed to SELL

-Enough copies to make the first hour profitable

-400K copies in 24 hours

-1 million copies in one week

-10 million in (Wait were not there yet lol)

So yeah, do you think it boosted the hardware sales at all?

You two think you're funny...changing my post like that.

let me tell you something: I been on this site for over two years. People know I wouldn't post crap like that. How the hell do you even ship a digital game?!?! It's absurd.



No but no problem, more people gonna buy this game in holidays when Xbox sales explode... Because of Price Drop.

I Expect 5M this year for Minecraft.

Lol, I needz to take screenshots from now on...

But numbers from Nelson, so official. :p



Well that's good. Hopefully this serves as a testament to other developers that you can stay hardcore & focus on gameplay over graphics & still see massive success. Hopefully we stop seeing devs trying to "cater to a broader audience" now that they know the hardcore audience is rather large.
