Within the first month of it’s digital release on the PS3 it has captured over 1 million players, adding on top of the 12 million sales on Xbox 360, 14 million on PC, and 21 million of the Pocket Edition. In fact, on any given day on Youtube, 8 out of 12 videos under the “Most popular in Gaming” will be a Minecraft based video.
