Minecraft Sells 6 Million Copies on the PC!

Minecraft has hit over 6,000,000 (six million) sales, and just shy of 30 million registered users! The game continues growing, and so does the player-base; MCX360 has definitively sold over a million copies, and the Pocket Edition easily doubles those numbers.

It's almost impossible to really grasp the totality of how far Minecraft has come, and how much Mojang has grown. What will the next major landmark be for the smash-hit sandbox game, and the blockbusting team behind it?

All told, it is believed that Minecraft has sold over 9 million copies on every platform for which it is currently available. In the last 24 hours, 83,284 people have registered at minecraft.net, and 8,994 people bought the game, just on the PC platform, in that time. Minecraft also celebrated its third birthday almost two weeks ago today.

It always seems like there is about 10 times as many registered users at Minecraft.net as there are people buying the game. Why are so many people creating accounts if they aren't going to buy it. Whats the point? There has to be a reason.

If you set the average price paid for a copy of MC at $18 USD, thats 108,000,000 dollars. A HUNDRED AND EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS!

What I don't understand is how in the little time they have been out, MCX360 has 1/6th the sells as the PC one, and the pocket edition 1/3rd, when the PC has been out for so much longer.

Diablo 3 sold 6.3 million copies in the first 5 days...for 3 times the price...a little perspective, perhaps?

Well, not really. because we're talking ALL the minecraft codes minecraft was cheaper at one point in development.
But still, the calculation is AMAZING.
