Minecraft Hits One Million Sold On PlayStation 3
Minecraft continues its impressive march towards global domination by achieving the one-million copies sold statistic on PlayStation 3.
The PlayStation 3 version of the game has been available for a little over a month. The game released on PlayStation 3 on December 17. The impressive sales numbers were announced on Mojang's blog where Daniel Kaplan of Mojang said, "We are super grateful for the support and we are very thankful for your dedication and I hope you will like the future updates we have planned for you."
Minecraft is still coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Xbox One, but exact release dates have not yet been announced.

Our Take
Someday, people will stop buying Minecraft. I don't know when that day will be, but they have to stop eventually, right?
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.
