Minecraft sales pass seven million on PC

4.6
Minecraft sales continue unabated. Daniel Kaplan, business developer at Mojang, revealed today that the PC version of Minecraft has exceeded sales of seven million units; comparatively, the Xbox Live Arcade version has sold three million.

The seven millionth sale comes a week after Minecraft's 1.31 patch, which adds trading functionality and combines both single-player and multiplayer into one unified mode.

-RzBlitz- wow


Couldn't you make a better sentence by putting those 3 words together for example, "wow, looks good!" instead of make 2 seperate posts.


Lol, MVC hunter!

Anyway, i'm not surprised by this at all. Minecraft is funner than fun!

Aced Ofcourse, Wat till xbox version gets all pc updates, itll catch up to pc sales


I can't wait and also i bet when they released minecraft they never thought it would end up this popular


Lol i wouldnt have either, its a really simple game, probaly didnt cost alot to make , yet there making a huge profit


Yet again so are any company who have games that are popular


But other games dont make as much of a profit, it cost alot to make other games then minecraft

Yeah but it also costs money to put out updates aswell for any game.


i believe they made a deal with microsoft to get a limited amount of free updates and also i think arcade game updates cost less than a regular game

Contrail Such a big number for a little company, does anyone know when the next update is for the Xbox version.


i think later this month, if not then next month

I highly doubt the 360 version will ever catch up to PC sales. They would need to make it even to what PC can do to make it worthwhile in my opinion.

Scanty Congrats MC!

7 million on the PC + the million on Xbox... That's pretty good for an little sandbox game. :D


Its not really a little sand box game anymore. It started out as a crappy little indie game but It got big and they kept updating it,now look where it is compared to the first version.


I know! It's grown quite a bit from when it started.
