Minecraft PC surpasses 14 million sold

4.1
The original PC version of Minecraft has sold 14 million worldwide, a figure that takes the game's total sales past the 35 million mark, at the very least. That 35 million figure is based on numbers previously given by Mojang for other platforms, including the 10 mill for the mobile Pocket Edition - that was back in May 2013. In truth, the total sales are probably a million or two more.

Bearing in mind Mojang still has lucrative PS4 and Xbox One versions in the works, we can only imagine creator Markus 'Notch' Persson has his own Scrooge McDuck-style money bin towering over the hills of deepest Sweden, with a giant, golden beard emblazoned on the front. If he doesn't, he is truly wasting his life.

Dorkus Mojang is truly an amazing company, they've gotten a ton of sales from minecraft alone. If they made another game i could imagine how much money it would bring to the company.


I know, they definitely should. Their sales would skyrocket.
They can't just make any game, t would have to be a compelling game like Minecraft that is addictive for all ages, can eventually be ported to a variety of different platforms. They were at one point working at like a Halo first person type of shooter game but I think that fell threw a few years ago.

I honestly would if I was them, but I doubt they need to I am sure they made enough money to live their lives without any worries.

Yop That's incredible, considering the possible release for Xbox One and PS4 will make it doubled what it is now.


no way, it will never go over 25m, it's over impossible. mojang should make a new game, minecraft won't go up in sales anymore.

I am sure that Mojang is banking off of PC and console sales considering everyone loves creating their own sort of creations, I know I loved creating things when I was a kid with legos, logs, etc.
