Why is it so hard to fathom its legs... it's cheap ($19.99 or less retail depending on which version you get), and it has nearly endless replay value plus tons of mods and extras, and of course there's the ever-popular YouTube channels of it keeping the game relevant.


Selling a MINIMUM of 12 million copies per year, cannot be downplayed no matter what.

Wasn't downplaying its sales at all, just pointing out the obvious why it has insane legs.  Minecraft is probably the most popular title since Wii Sports.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

8 years?! The hell. It will sell close to 20m this year alone, and should be able to sell about the same next year or more (PS4+XOne versions). At that point it will be easy.


minecraft is at 30m ltd right now

but will sell 20m only this year?

 

uhmm year sure...

No it's at more than 30m. 12m was announced for 360 a while ago (so probably around 13m now) + 16.7m on PC + 3-5m on PS3 = Close to 35m. It was PC only at first, and in beta. It wasn't on PS3 until December last year. It hasn't been on Vita, PS4 or Xbox One but it will this year. Its popularity has been exponentially increasing. Hell, it will sell 6m+ on PC alone this year and 10m+ on PS3+360, while the next-gen and Vita versions will add to that number.


it cant be at 35 console alone

unless it sold zero units on mobile form april to  june

 

overall minecraft sales end of april: close to 50m  (short of 30m console + pc)

overall minecraft sales end of june: 54m

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/minecraft-console-sales-pass-pc-series-nears-54-million-copies-sold/1100-6420724/

 

 

minecraft console sales surpassed pc sales end of june, too

minecraft pc/mac sales right now: 16.725.492

+ >16.730k console sales

=  short of 34m units as of mid of august (unless console sold over 500k units more than pc in less than 2 month)

 

 

 

 

 

Well I did say almost. 33 or 34m is still closer to 35m than the 30m you've been saying

Yeah, but fortunately it is selling at a very steady pace with no reason for it to stop anytime soon
