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.

Always knew this game would do well on the console! Well done Mojang

Wored To be honest, I never thought Mojang would be able to go this far with this game on the console. I remember it in it's beta stages, and all the updates they were bringing out for it.


I knew the game would be successful, Because not many people have PC rigs that can play games like minecraft, a $100-200 console is much more common than a $700+ PC

So congrats to Mojang, for making MC for xbox. However, if they want to take the game to a step further, they should allow the public uploads and downloads of texture packs
