It was announced in a statement released by Microsoft that Minecraft: 360 Edition has surpassed all previous sales records on the XBOX Live Arcade, selling more digital copies in the first twenty-four hours of launch than any other title! There are already over four hundred thousand ratings for the game on XBLA, and it clearly has a strong start in the multiplayer community.
Official figures have not been released yet regarding the exact number of sales; it has been estimated, based on the game's ratings by players, that sales exceeded four hundred-thousand copies within 24 hours of going live, worldwide.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition was developed by 4J Studios in conjunction with Mojang and Microsoft Studios, and introduces new gameplay experiences such as a unique crafting menu, game tutorials, and split-screen multiplayer as well as online multiplayer for up to eight players over Xbox LIVE, with split-screen, network play, or any combination thereof.

Minecraft + Mojang News: Minecraft on Xbox & Huge Biomes!
This week, David & Toby talk about - what else? - Minecraft on the 360! In addition, they take a look at the new features of the most recent Snapshot, 12w9a, including the incredibly awesome Huge Biome feature. Take a look!
People are displeased because they can't play splitscreen, I'm going to get a refund if they don't make it so that people without an HDTV can play splitscreen!
Some of us don't have money that we can spend!
HDMI cables are cheap, and if you mean your xbox is old, and you want developers to cater to your needs because of it.... No.
My Xbox isn't old, my tv is a newer one, but is to small, and doesn't have an HDMI port, my Xbox is new, but my parents don't want to spend $150 dollers to buy a new TV.
XBox 360 edition... check
PS3 edition... NOT CHECK
I WANT PS3 EDITION NOW
No PC version???
Even if I did have a Xbox 360, I would still stay with the PC version
And people who are complaining about the HDMI thing get with the times.
Gaming is an expensive hobby and you shouldn't expect developers to make stuff for outdated hardware so stop complaining.
And people who complain about it being outdated then too bad, it will be updated. Slowly (I'm guessing) but surely, and you have your PC version to play while you wait anyway x3
And you have to remember, it's the thing allot of people forget.
It. Will. All. Be. Patched. Soon.
Component cables cost $40... more than the game lol. And if you add all that up, you are basically paying for a $60 xbox game on the arcade... double lol. I just don't see how minecraft graphics need hd to go splitscreen while the halo series experiences no problems going 4 player sc.
We're totally buying a new TV just for minecraft that we already own on the pc that's updated.
Good. Get rid of the VHS player too.
Yeah, well.. that's how it read to me.
