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.

Minecraft is a pretty smooth game and can be HD with texturepacks. It's just a game of pixels.

TylerTheMaster Just my opinion, but if I sold over 4miilion copies on a game such as minecraft ported from the pc with no updates for...i dunno MONTHS I would feel like a d***che just saying. The update cant take that long...


well if your tired of waiting then you code the update yourself, fix all the bugs, code creative mode and all the other things in it and then your release it... OWait. you cant code, now STFU and wait for the update :facepalm:
