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.

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.


Yep, and that's what I love about it.


call of duty doesnt make u pay for updates...

Braze4 Personally, I hate this game. Too boring for me. But congratulations to Notch. What a year 2012 was for him and the team!


I'm suprised to hear someone hates Minecraft!

Rule34 I kinda lost interest in Minecraft a little and barely hear about it now, but, damn, that's a lot. They sold like 20 million for the PC alone right? I know Notch is a happy man.


They have sold 8.6 million copies on the pc version.

AR15 Minecraft is such a simple game, but yet so fun.


I only really find it entertaining when playing with friends and mods, on your own it's pretty boring IMO.
