1 million copies of PS3 Minecraft sold in 5 weeks

Mojang has revealed that Minecraft: PS3 Edition has sold over 1 million copies since being released five weeks ago.

The numbers are just another indication of the appeal of Minecraft, which continues to sell massively on any platform it launches on.

"It is crazy considering the game was released just before Christmas last year," said Mojang business developer Daniel Kaplan.

"We are super grateful for the support and we are very thankful for your dedication and I hope you will like the future updates we have planned for you."

The original PC game has sold nearly 14 million copies, while the Xbox 360 edition has sold 10 million.
