It’s no surprise that Minecraft has been a hit for quite some time. Now, though, we have specific sales figures from creator Markus “Notch” Persson himself. According to the developer, the game recently reached 453,000 sales across Xbox 360 and PC.

“Across all platforms, Minecraft sold 453k copies on dec 24! Wowzers! <3″ tweeted Notch. He then corrected himself, “Sorry, dec 25, not 24.” Side note: “Wowzers” is such a cool word.

Well, that must’ve been a nice little Christmas surprise. Great to see such an ambitious project reach a large number of sales. One can only imagine how much further the game could go if it landed on even more platforms.
