Forums - Gaming - Minecraft Pocket Edition (mobile) has SOLD over 30m units

That's insane...the pocket edition is beyond terrible. Can't believe 30m people (me included ;( ) were suckered into buying it

"Minecraft: Pocket Edition recently crossed over the 30 million downloads mark....". Downloaded doesn't equel sold just like shipped doesn't sequel sold.


You have to pay for Minecraft to download it......Im not sure where youre going with this

Minecraft is well over 50m sold now.  Its 10m+ on Xbox Live.  Like 20m on PC and another 1-2m on PS4/XBO/PSV.  Add in 30m mobile and youre around 60m sold so far and still going.  I wonder how far it will go

Did you even bother reading what you just linked?

"This is a true sales landmark as Minecraft: Pocket Edition is a paid premium game, priced at $7 on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Amazon Kindle Fire."

Give it up, it's SOLD just like they're specfically saying.

"Minecraft: Pocket Edition recently crossed over the 30 million downloads mark....". Downloaded doesn't equel sold just like shipped doesn't sequel sold.

"Here’s a stonker: 30,000,000! You good people have bought Minecraft: Pocket Edition over 30 million times."

"To celebrate the sales milestone, we’re planning a question and answer session with the devs."

It's way over 60m. The question is if it has reached 80m+ yet, it certainly is above 70m.

Well, there is a piracy problem on Android especially (see the recent news story about Monument Valley), but I highly doubt that they're including pirated downloads in this 30m figure, I'm sure that's actual sales.


There could be a case for how many times its been pirated though i dont think they would have the numbers for that anyways.  Same goes to PC but this specifically says 'bought" so i have no idea why he is arguing this

Okay I guess Minecraft:PE has sold 30 million units. I can't believe it but I guess you are all right and devs don't lie.

Yeah im basing stuff off numbers i heard like a year or two ago.  X360 prob has 15m+ by now and i can imagine PC is 25m+

I wonder if itll reach 100m lifetime.

Pirating Minecraft on Android is as easy as ABC. No need to even download the data file, just manage to get your hands on the apk and that's it.

PC is 18.1m+ as of now. 360 likely around 15m or more. PS4 should be around 3m, PS3 5m+, XB1 around 1.5-2m, PSV around 1m.

As for the 100m question: In my eyes it's 100% certain lol. It can go on to sell 150m+ if it wants to.

And that's exactly why they're not including pirated copies lol. (Who the hell would even include pirated copies in official sales numbers??)
