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.


are you living under the assumptions this is a free to play game?

 

Because its not. To download you have to buy.

Wait! On the play store it says that Minecraft has sold 5Million units and unless iOS and windows phone together bought 25 million I highly doubt it sold 30 million.


20m+ on iOS easily



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

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.

Isnt the 18.1m figure old for PC?(EDIT:  18,1m is correct)  I feel like that was announced over a year ago. Before Minecraft Retail came out for X360 it had over or close to 10m downloads. Its sold 7m at retail so yeah 15M+ sounds about right for X360.  I have no idea about the rest.  Im sure we will get an announcement at some point though

Yes, but after you bought it you can download it how many times you want without paying a cent.

Okay Fine, I already posted that I now agree that it was sold. I was just stating the fact that ounce one buys an app he can download it how many times he wants without paying a cent. Seesh.

Wow, it just keeps selling. MS was probably most interested in tapping into the huge amount of minecraft mobile fans when they bought Mojang. Hopefully we see MS develop more apps on all mobile platforms.
