I think it is somewhat unfair, to include mobile version. I mean you might as well let every mobile game enter the sales thread, and no game is as successful.

(Given you console and mobile minecraft fans play such inferior verison, it is laughable!)

/me goes back to be superior PC elitest

Wait I have more insults, call me when you guys can beat a wither or or or PSSH you guys don't even have the sky update yet!

@ Responses to my post: Whatever the number, 10, 15, doesn't matter, wasn't the point. You get what I meant .

What about Angry Birds?? You cant tell me it dosent count because its digital because so is Mineccraft

I'm sorry, but some aspects only count towards certain things. You can't have everything agree with each other!

Grats for the achievement.
That said the OP is jumping to conclusion. You should have simply give gratulations to the great sales. But by no standard it is the best selling game of all times. Angry Birds and some other mobile games clearly have beaten that. You include mobile sales of Minecraft so these games clearly qualify. The OP is pretty bad.

A truly shitty game.
COD is more deserving of its sales than Minecraft.

Minecraft has levelof creativity that allCOD games combined dreamof. the levelof creativity is endless as long as youhave imagination and patience

User created content isn't creativity of the game itself, just potentially of players, and the average player has the creativity of a brick. And patience isn't fun.

In order for user to create something in minecraft ,, the game would have to be capable to do and should be providing th etools for user to create it right? I mean a user won't be able ot create a multiplayer halo match on minecraft , or a whole city from games of thone if teh game wasn't capable of doing so . Thatas wwhat i meant. COD is teh same game since MW2.

The potential is there, but it relies on gamers to get it out, and the vast majority gamers have no creativity, so the content is 99.9% rubbish.

COD at least manages to be (mindless) fun; none of my time playing Minecraft even came close to being fun.
