Minecraft sales pass seven million on PC

4.6
Minecraft sales continue unabated. Daniel Kaplan, business developer at Mojang, revealed today that the PC version of Minecraft has exceeded sales of seven million units; comparatively, the Xbox Live Arcade version has sold three million.

The seven millionth sale comes a week after Minecraft's 1.31 patch, which adds trading functionality and combines both single-player and multiplayer into one unified mode.

I do not have a laptop that is even able to run Minecraft on it so I have never had the pleasure of playing it on there. I think it's more fun on the PC because you can sprint and you can have mods. Gotta love mods :)

On Xbox you can sprint and it goes by so slow, PC looks better because you can actually run.

Who would have ever thought that an 8bit game that you build stuff in would be this popular?

I think we would all appreciate it if you would atleast say something that has something to do with the article.


there's another kid that does almost the same thing as him, it's really annoying.


Either post boosting or spamming for the MVC badge... sigh.


-Meow- does this i dont see a problem with posting but he writes pointless and short stuff


He and a few other just write "wow" or "cool" or the generic "i want this".

It's getting annoying.
