Minecraft reaches 12 million sold on Xbox 360

4.5
Mojang's sandbox build-'em-up Minecraft remains a popular favorite on the Xbox 360, surpassing 12 million units sold as of this month.

"It is pretty amazing!" Mojang's Daniel Kaplan stated in response to the latest sales milestone. "I remember when we started talking about sales numbers that we would be super happy to sell 1 million copies. That would have put us on par with [Battlefield 1943] and Castle Crashers, which both are awesome games, so that was something to aim for. We never even dreamed of selling 12 million!"

Minecraft previously topped 10 million sales in December last year. Mojang and development partner 4J Studios will continue to update Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition with new content in the coming months, including a Candy Texture Pack due to launch on April 18.

That's $240,000,000 I know Mojang doesn't get it all but still that's a lot of money.

Tickets Guys the xbone version will be like 100$ :/


I highly doubt that. Mojang isn't greedy. They only have about 30 on the PC(USD Currency.)

They wouldn't charge 100 for the X1 version. Their sales would drop so fast it would be bad for business.

I wouldn't doubt that they've already sold this much on Xbox 360 alone! Minecraft is an amazing game in my opinion.

I still play it nearly every day. Sure it doesn't have the creativity of the PC version but it's come a long way in just a few years and some day soon I hope they will add a larger map!
