Minecraft PC and Mac sales top 16 million

4.7

Sales of the PC and Mac versions of Minecraft have surpassed 16 million copies, according to the game's official site.

The figure is up from up from 15 million copies in April and 14 million copies in February.

Minecraft Pocket Edition sales surpassed 21 million units in April, while 12 million copies of Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition had been sold as of February.

Digital Minecraft PS3 sales topped one million copies in the five weeks following the game's December 2013 release, a figure that is likely to have grown significantly over the past few months, and one that will have been boosted by a retail edition launched in May.

The franchise was reported to be approaching 54 million sales on all platforms combined in late June.

Mojang has confirmed that Vita, PS4 and Xbox One versions of Minecraft will launch in August.

It's pretty cool to see how much Minecraft has grown. I used to play very early Beta and it covered quite a niche audience. To think that 16 million sales have been made

I think it's crazy how many people have bought the Pocket Edition of the game but ever since the 0.9.0 Alpha update came out the game is truly amazing, just as good if not better then console versions, especially in the terrain generation and item departments. This game has definitely going to be one of the best selling games in history.

I really loved this game..the music always chilled me out and made me enjoy going on a big trip to mine. Ever since they gave creative mode for the xbox version it really put me off. Just knowing that you could just load creative and get what you want ruined it. Fair enough it is really good for wanting to do big projects but other than that creative made the game boring for me.

Wow that's a lot of sales, I've never played it as it definitely doesn't appeal to me, well no PC games like that appeal to me.
