Minecraft XBLA sales top 4 million

4.6
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has surpassed four million sales, according to developer 4J Studios.

The company said on Twitter: "Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has passed 4 million sales! Incredible number, thanks to you all!"
The game broke previous XBLA records by selling more than any other title in its first 24 hours of availability on the digital platform. It went on to sell over a million copies in less than a week.

Here's what we said in our 9/10 Minecraft: Xbox 360 review: "Whether you're mining, crafting, building, or fighting - either alone, or with friends - there's nothing quite like Minecraft. An accomplished, streamlined port that's a perfect fit for Xbox 360."

The PC version of Minecraft hit seven million sales in August.

It's not even finished, it's going to be put into Microsoft cert testing either this week or possibly the next. Type "4J Studios twitter" into Google and you can catch up with MCXBLA news straight from the developers.

I am not surprised, Minecraft was, and still is such a hit on the PC, so it is only right for it to be greatly loved on the Xbox.
