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.

And texture packs. It's also not as updated. But I enjoy it on the xbox more too.

Reaiming I never thought the game would ever become as popular as it is today..
I've still not yet played it.


Most people hate the game until they play it


That's what I was thinking, my friend always told me it was a waste until I let him play on mine.

Creativity. You have the freedom to do what you want, that's why.
