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.

Hom That is actually pretty ridiculous for non-intesive graphical game


It's not about graphics, It's about the game. Better graphics doesn't mean better game. Don't tell me you didn't like Mario 64 or Donkey Kong.
