Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has ruled theXbox LIVE Arcade roost since its release last May. There's a new indie kid on the block inTerraria though which leapt past the 4J Studios port of the Mojang sandbox title according to a report Wednesday.

The 2D side-scrolling adventure, Terraria, sold more than 127,944 copies on Xbox 360 in its first week on the console according to Gamasutra. This was enough to knock Minecraft from its perch atop the Xbox LIVE Arcade sales charts as the previous champ managed 81,205 copies sold during the same period for the week ending March 31.

While the nearly 128,000 in sales on Xbox LIVE for the first week is impressive for Terraria, it still can't match the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft which passed one million copies sold in its first five days when it was released in May 2013.

Indeed, Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is still a dominant force on the service as it managed to reach six million in sales through the end of March. It sold 250,000 alone for the month of March 2013 as well.

There's been no word on how Terriria performed with its release on the Playstation Network. However, 505 Games did confirm that a PS Vita version is on the way this summer.

New release tops one year old game on the charts. Shocking news at eleven.

I purchased the game on xbla. It's pretty awesome. I think anyone that enjoys minecraft will also enjoy terraria! though, I still prefer minecraft.

Good news to hear the game is selling well.

might try this game out

First bigger XBLA (and PSN) release of the year.

Also if someone has the PSN version, it would be interesting to hear how many people are on the leaderboards there at the moment.

Hmm, never tried minecraft, or not enough anyway. I may start with this. Got a 1000ish ms points to blow.

I didn't know it was out yet. I missed it last week.
Trying the demo now on my 3 year old. Co-op buddy.

Is Terraria 1200MSP or 1600MSP?

Congrats to Terraria. BattleBlock Theater is at 26,000 in its first 24 hours so i hope it can manage 75-100k in its first week. Amazing game
