Minecraft XBLA sales top 4 million

[Lover Boy]

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has surpassed four million sales, according to developer 4J Studios.

The company said on Twitter: "Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has passed 4 million sales! Incredible number, thanks to you all!"

The game broke previous XBLA records by selling more than any other title in its first 24 hours of availability on the digital platform. It went on to sell over a million copies in less than a week.

Here's what we said in our 9/10 Minecraft: Xbox 360 review: "Whether you're mining, crafting, building, or fighting - either alone, or with friends - there's nothing quite like Minecraft. An accomplished, streamlined port that's a perfect fit for Xbox 360."

The PC version of Minecraft hit seven million sales in August.

Wow that's unbelieveable. It came out when..May? I've personally never played it but I have heard brilliant things about it.

It's pretty awesome. I have a fort with a moat, the roof on fire, and my initials sticking out of the side.

Funny enough a bunch of my friends downloaded it yesterday and have been telling me I need it. Going to try and get some MS points and make it happen, PC version was solid but my laptop sucks so it would always freeze.
