Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition Sells Over 5 Million Copies

Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition continues to sell well and reach milestones every few weeks or so. The game has now sold over 5 million copies.

4J Studios made the monumental announcement on twitter saying:

“On New Year’s Eve 2012, Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition passed 5 million sales! #MinecraftXBLA”

The game sold over 1 million copies in its first week on sale back in May 2012. It then went on to sell over 3 million copies in July 2012. This means a further 2 million copies of the game have been sold in the last 6 months alone. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time until 4J Studios announces the game has sold over 6 million copies…
