Minecraft XBLA sells 3 million

4.6
Minecraft for Xbox Live Arcade has now surpassed 3 million units sold. The announcement comes via Twitter from Mojang's lord of the blocks, Markus "Notch" Persson, who wrote this morning: "I got told Minecraft for XBLA passed three million sales today!"

The $20 downloadable title launched on May 7 and sold a million units in five days. It then reached two million sales in early June. Minecraft for XBLA has also enjoyed significant support through updates, the latest (v 1.73) having gone live last week.

Wow it's amazing how this game sold this many copies on Xbox, because most of the people that bought the game on the Xbox have it for the PC too which is weird.

Even
SovietRussia So notch, Does this mean we will get some more updates sooner and more dlc? (For free ;) )


Notch has nothing to do with minecraft let alone the xbox 360 version.


Notch is the creator of Minecraft. -_-


He might be the creator of the game itself, but 4J Studios created the XBOX version of the game, so they handle all of the updates and content. Hell, their logo even appears in game during the intro credits.
