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.

Xbox will eventually pass the PC version, it's already got 3 million in the first three months it's been available, there's definitely going to be more people on it soon enough.


Yeah i agree with you, but for some reason i feel people prefer pc over xbox, everyone says its better, so itll be a tough competition


well the reason for that is that the PC version has all these great updates now


Yeah thats exactly the reason, they have all good updates that people on xbox wish they had, thats why pc might be higher sale right now


true but eventually Xbox will be catching up to PC so those sales will skyrocket


PC has a higher sale because it came out like 2 years ago on the PC and it was MADE on the PC :S


well yeah, but both PC users and Xbox users like it on both. Note, that the xbox version hasn't been out but for 3 months.

Smurfs I'm not surprised it sold this much. It is really good and fun to play.


Yeah i'm not surprised either since it sold 6 million on PC.


Xbox version is catching up pretty quick.


Yeah it's probably gonna pass soon.


Xbox mc will never pass PC mc. Mojang updates PC first, then Xbox.
