Minecraft PC and Mac sales top 16 million

4.7

Sales of the PC and Mac versions of Minecraft have surpassed 16 million copies, according to the game's official site.

The figure is up from up from 15 million copies in April and 14 million copies in February.

Minecraft Pocket Edition sales surpassed 21 million units in April, while 12 million copies of Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition had been sold as of February.

Digital Minecraft PS3 sales topped one million copies in the five weeks following the game's December 2013 release, a figure that is likely to have grown significantly over the past few months, and one that will have been boosted by a retail edition launched in May.

The franchise was reported to be approaching 54 million sales on all platforms combined in late June.

Mojang has confirmed that Vita, PS4 and Xbox One versions of Minecraft will launch in August.

It's amazing how such a simplistic but addictive game can earn greater revenue than most common games such as Battlefield and COD

I personally have 12 Minecraft accounts. I like to think I contributed to that number somewhat xD

PyroJoe wow, they've made so much money and the ps4 and xbox one versions aren't even out yet.

And this isn't accounting for Minecraft merchandise, such as Steve/Mob heads, foam pick axes/swords T-Shirts, Key Chains, Toys, etcc. They're making more money than probably everybody on the site combined. It's incredible.

aMio It would go up more for PC if there online purchase wasn't so hard

What are you talking about?

He's saying that some kids parents aren't very comfortable using credit cards to buy the game offline. Some people are kind of phobic like that, kind of like my parents when I bought the game back in 2011 but i forced them to make me get it xD

You do know that you can go into a store like Target and get a prepaid card to buy Minecraft instead of using a credit card?

I;m talking about the company itself if it's a debit card they deny your payment and I'm not sure pre paids are even working either people have been having trouble buying it
