Minecraft clocks in 10 million PC purchases, dev hints horses in 1.6

4.6
Minecraft has sold 10 million copies on PC, Mac and Linux. That puts the world-builder's total sales across PC, XBLA and mobile well over 24 million, and makes it the seventh best-selling PC game ever, says Mojang Customer Support Manager Marc Watson.

To celebrate, developer Jens Bergensten teased a major update coming to version 1.6.
(Spoilers: it's a horse.) Minecraft's Redstone Update, 1.5, hit on March 13, and now it seems Mojang has version 1.6 champing at the bit.

slapshot101 This seems to me that this is one of those games that has blown up after the past 2 or 3 years. It is crazy that they have sold as many copies as there are on Xbox live. I just learned that fact today.
