Minecraft reaches 12 million sold on Xbox 360

4.5
Mojang's sandbox build-'em-up Minecraft remains a popular favorite on the Xbox 360, surpassing 12 million units sold as of this month.

"It is pretty amazing!" Mojang's Daniel Kaplan stated in response to the latest sales milestone. "I remember when we started talking about sales numbers that we would be super happy to sell 1 million copies. That would have put us on par with [Battlefield 1943] and Castle Crashers, which both are awesome games, so that was something to aim for. We never even dreamed of selling 12 million!"

Minecraft previously topped 10 million sales in December last year. Mojang and development partner 4J Studios will continue to update Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition with new content in the coming months, including a Candy Texture Pack due to launch on April 18.

JRJ This is awesome. I remember probably being one of the first 1k people to purchase it. I waited all night for this to come out and now it's at 12 million. That's crazy. Congratulations to them


I played the classic version when there was no animals or mobs, it's mind-blowing how they've come this far.

Miss Wow, that is a lot of people that bought this game. Unfortunately I'm not one of those 12 million.


Neither am I, a friend of mine bought it and I had his account on my Xbox so I just played it there. But Minecraft truly deserves this accomplishment
