Minecraft XBLA sells a million copies

4.6

Mojang's Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has sold over a million copies in less than a week on sale.
That's according to Microsoft who released the figure today as confirmation of the game's record-breaking XBLA sales.

"It's official: Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has has broken all previous Xbox LIVE Arcade digital sales records, selling more than any other title in the first 24 hours on Xbox LIVE Arcade," said Microsoft's Major Nelson blog in an official announcement last week.

Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson last week tweeted that performance numbers were "very, very good" and said the title became "profitable in an hour".
