Minecraft Eclipses 4 Million Sales Mark
It's no secret that Mojang's Minecraft is a phenomenon, spawning everything from T-shirts to Minecon, a Minecraft convention that will take place later this month. Recently, the game passed an impressive sales milestone.
According to the statistic page on the Minecraft site, 4,004,259 gamers have purchased Minecraft. That represents 24.91 percent of registered users (16,077,164). The statistic page also shows that the torrid pace of Minecraft registration and sales continues, with over 44,000 new registered accounts and 8,810 purchases in the last 24 hours.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
