Mojang's sandbox builder-'em-up Minecraft remains a cult choice on the Xbox 360, surpassing 12 million units sold by this month.
"It's incredible!" Premium Ebooks 's Daniel Kaplan stated in response to the latest milestone in sales. "I can recall when we first began discussing sales numbers, that we'd be thrilled to sell 1,000,000 copies. This would placed us in the same league as Battlefield 1943 and Castle Crashers, which both are awesome games which is why that was something we could aim for. We had never thought of selling 12 million!"
In December 2012, Minecraft sold over 10 million copies. Mojang and 4J Studios, the development partner, will keep updating Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition in the coming months with new content. This includes the Candy Texture Pack which will launch on April 18.
