Minecraft franchise sells 453K units on Christmas

4.8
It's Christmas, the presents have been opened, turkey and ham consumed – it's the midday lull. What to do? If you're like over 400,000 other people, you buy whatever version of Minecraft is handy. Across all available platforms, Minecraft sold 435,000 copies on December 25, according to the block maestro himself, Markus "Notch" Persson.

Be careful folks, that's not a festive, green holiday decoration – it's a Creeper.

Famous_Energy That really is a lot of copies sold. I personally think this is the best Xbox 360 Arcade game even made.


Its definitely one of the most replay able arcade games to say the least.

So 435k x 15.00 = 650k Minecraft is a nice little earner.

ThatCommunist Wow , that's ridiculous. Can't believe that people are still buying it


Unlike Cal of Duty, Minecraft gets updated instead of making you buy another game, so people will be buying it for a long time.


Wrong, people buy it for the mods. Minecraft has only done small updates recently.
