Minecraft XBLA sales top 4 million
The company said on Twitter: "Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has passed 4 million sales! Incredible number, thanks to you all!"
The game broke previous XBLA records by selling more than any other title in its first 24 hours of availability on the digital platform. It went on to sell over a million copies in less than a week.
Here's what we said in our 9/10 Minecraft: Xbox 360 review: "Whether you're mining, crafting, building, or fighting - either alone, or with friends - there's nothing quite like Minecraft. An accomplished, streamlined port that's a perfect fit for Xbox 360."
The PC version of Minecraft hit seven million sales in August.
