Minecraft franchise sells 453K units on Christmas

4.8
It's Christmas, the presents have been opened, turkey and ham consumed – it's the midday lull. What to do? If you're like over 400,000 other people, you buy whatever version of Minecraft is handy. Across all available platforms, Minecraft sold 435,000 copies on December 25, according to the block maestro himself, Markus "Notch" Persson.

Be careful folks, that's not a festive, green holiday decoration – it's a Creeper.

Minecrafts a great game, from what it was to what it's become, it and it's creators along with the legend markus deserve every bit of glory on the superb game they've made.

damoh7 So 435k x 15.00 = 650k Minecraft is a nice little earner.


435000 x 15.00 = 6525000 ( over 6 million) it most certainly is a nice little earner!
