Minecraft surpasses 6m sales on XBLA

The Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft has reached yet another milestone.

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has now sold over SIX MILLION copies,” console developer 4J Studios announced on Twitter.

The game’s continuing success on Microsoft’s console is no surprise, with indie retailer Game On recently telling MCV that the port was a system seller for Xbox 360. It boosted XBLA to record heights last year, and had reached over 20m total sales across all platforms as of late January.

As for what’s next for the IP, Mojang has already stated the game would be considered for PSN after its exclusivity deal ends with Microsoft.
