MCV AWARDS 2013: Sales Triumph nod for Minecraft

Minecraft won an MCV Award last night.

The 360 version of the popular digital download game was named Sales Triumph.

Minecraft on 360 has been a bestseller on Xbox, and likely the format’s best selling single-format game for the last 12 months. It has held the number one spot pretty consistently since its debut last year.

The 360 version is a port of the PC original by Scottish outfit 4J put together in association with original creator Mojang.

Minecraft was one of 18 winners at the MCV Awards last night.

The event is supported by platinum partner The Hut Group, award partners Click Entertainment, Incomm Europe, Link Distribution, MCM Expo, OnLive, Respondez, Wii U and 2K Games plus event partners Electronic Arts, OPM Recruitment, Koch Media, Intergi, Warner Bros, ShopTo, Green Man Gaming and IGN.
