Minecraft Sold over 14 Million Units on PC/Mac, Totaling More than 35 Million Overall

Minecraft creator Markus Persson announced over the weekend that the PC/Mac edition of his creation has topped the 14 million units sales mark.

The Twitter announcement comes as no surprise, as the PlayStation version of Minecraft has sold more than 1 million copies in just five weeks since its launch, and the Xbox 360 version managed to sell over 10 million units since its release, as did the Pocket Edition, making for an aggregate of around 35 million sales.

Minecraft, in short, is a game about breaking blocks in one area in order to place them in another, in a more orderly fashion. Initially designed as a sort of sandbox/survival game, it has quickly evolved into a cultural phenomenon that forever changed the gaming world and elucidated the mystery of who built the pyramids: its players.

Minecraft is currently available on PC, Mac, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and its Pocket Edition can be downloaded for iOS and Android.
