Minecraft reaching 54 million sold, console editions pass PC
Players' first moments with Minecraft came in May 2009 when the alpha version was made available, over two years prior to its full release in November 2011. Mojang and creator Markus "Notch" Persson have celebrated many sales milestones since then, recently noting that 15 million copies of the PC version were sold as of April. In the same month, the Xbox 360 version reached 12 million sold, whereas the Pocket Edition for iOS and Android achieved the 21 million mark.

That is a lot of sales, I've never played the game and never will doesn't really appeal to me.

54 MILLION?! That is a lot of games sold, especially just being one game. The game hasn't even came out on PS4 and Xbox One, so imagine how many more sales they'll get once it comes out on next-gen consoles!!

I would've never expected this to happen, but I guess it does make sense since it's both Xbox 360 and PS3 combined. I'm interested to see the sales for Xbox One and PS4 once they're released, but it will be different since not everyone will be paying the full price for it.

AR15 I don't see how this is really quite possible. PC Minecraft isn't that much more expensive and it is also MUCH better. Good for them anyways though!
because console is flooded with 9-13 year olds
