Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition performing strongly at retail

4.7
The physical, retail version of Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition was the best-selling Xbox 360 game in its launch window, according to Mojang founder Markus “Notch” Persson.

Noting that the disc version of Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition had been out for a few days on Twitter, Persson went on to reveal it’s selling just about as terrifically as everybody expected.

“And they’re telling me it’s currently the fastest selling console game in the US. Neato!” he said.

Minecraft hit US retail earlier this month. It seems almost impossible that not everybody already owned a copy of Minecraft; the Xbox 360 version has sold over 6 million units and players have logged a cumulative total over 1 billion hours, the Pocket Edition has shifted 10 million and so has the Mac and PC version.

It’s coming to Xbox One now, too.

I honestly don't see the point of Minecraft.

Snowfl4k3z Cool, is it XGD3?? I think I want this lol.


I'm sure it's XGD3, didn't XGD2 have some weird looking burn on the disk or something? I'm not too sure I don't remember what the XGD2 and XGD3 difference is.

xCeeTee What new features does it have on the disc version? I'm gonna miss it when I'm on the PS4. I'm keeping my 360 so I guess that's a plus


I'm thinking this is more for people who don't have XBL or who haven't downloaded Minecraft and want to play Minecraft on their console with the disk.

slapshot101 That's crazy, I never knew that the pocket edition has sold 10 million copies, that is crazy, it is even more then the 360 version.


Well, minecraft is an enjoyable game to everyone and I think more people have iDevices, Androids, and stuff like that than they do 360's. So they just bought it on there.


Agree, more smartphones then consoles these days.
