Yep, that's a 1 followed by six 0s and two – count 'em,
two – commas.
Minecraft on Xbox 360 has sold 1 million copies since its launch on May 9, Microsoft announced today.
Minecraft runs $20 a pop on XBLA, making its initial revenue bump against $20 million, supposedly split between Mojang, port developer 4J Studios and Microsoft.
Players have so far spent more than 5.2 million hours mining on XBLA, played 4 million multiplayer sessions and clocked more than 2.4 million multiplayer hours, Microsoft reported. Original
Minecraft developer Markus "Notch" Persson reacted to the news in what we think is an appropriate manner: "
Wow."
