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.

Toque Isn't Xbox at like 3 million? So you know, 10 million x $20

No big deal


Yeah Xbox is at 3 million sales and also 10,000,000 x 20 = $200,000,000

So basically they get that much money which is pretty insane!
