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.

Jeff_Hanneman 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 was thinking the same. I purchased my minecraft game from a store, i would prefer that in comparison to linking a card to my account personally.

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

Dovashin Mojang targeted the kid/teen market and did a good job selling the game. Good practices.

Due to how creative you can be by building new things then there is actually no target age group, just am assessment game for any age :)

I am seriously not shocked by these figures, it was a great game. Appealing to all age groups due to creativity.

Wow, that's a lot of sales, and it looks like the sales are going up very quickly. They had 1 million sales of the PC and Mac edition of Minecraft in just 2-3 months!
