Minecraft has hit over 5,000,000 (five million) sales, and over 20 million registered users! It seems like only yesterday that Minecraft was fully released at Minecon, and features were still being added even then. From beds to bedrock fog, Minecraft spent 2011 in a constant state of growth, and continues to do so well into 2012. As the game grows, so does the player-base; it wasn't long before over 4 million people bought the game, and now, even that number seems so far away.
Now, it seems that Pocket Edition has some catching up to do! Having hit 750,000 sales in January, the portable Minecraft port has quickly become a fixture in its own right - how long will it be before we see over 1 million sales for this ever-expanding game for the travelling builder? Every update brings more and more of the popular PC title to handhelds, with the most recent update bringing elements of Survival to Pocket Edition, including monsters, tools and even more blocks than before, to name just a few.
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? We're not sure, but with Mojam still in full swing, there exists ample opportunities to aim ever higher.
Awesome, congratulations Mojang! I was sort of hoping for some 5 million user achievement sale :tongue.gif:
I thought it would be cool if they gave the person who bought the 5,000,000 copy an awesome gift or something. Maybe a trip to the next Minecon (are they having it again) or something else XD
Congrats Mojang Team!
Everyone Is Super Hyped Because Twitter Is Going Crazy!
And Even Better This All Happened During Mojam!
How Exciting!

Congrats mojang team! it really has come a long way! maybe we might get a cape. that would be pretty sweet. congrats and many million more buyers to come!
Mojam? Who is Mojam? Seriously though well done, 5 million is more than most game developers sell in a lifetime. Keep on making the world a better place! (Minecraft world that is).
Mojam is the name of the Mojang Game Jam, the weekend long game creation event. Click the link to read about it, you can watch it live @ humblebundle.com :-)

Hopefully 50 million more to come.
