Minecraft Shatters XBLA Sales Records ‹ Hardcore Gamer

Posted by Steve Hannley on 10 May 2012

Released yesterday, Minecraft is the fastest selling XBLA game ever.

According to Major Nelson, it has sold nearly half a million copies in a mere 24 hours. Might be a good time to consider investing into Mojang.

Featuring Kinect Support and cross-platform play with PC, the 4J Studios developed game has been heralded as being a successful port of the aformentioned PC version.

One day I plan to expose my child to no American history besides what they can pick up from playing Assassin's Creed III. Then I'm going to drop him or her into a Social Studies class and mildly enjoy the outcome. I'm going to be a great father.
