The Minecraft juggernaut keeps on rolling, and now there’s word from publisher Mojang that the game has sold more than 21 million copies of the Pocket Edition. That’s 14 million more copies than they’ve sold on PC or console. The Minecraft Pocket Edition is #1 for paid apps on Google Play, and #2 on Apple’s App Store under paid games (having been overtaken recently by Monument Valley).
Minecraft overall has sold at least 35 million copies so far in all formats, as of February. The game is 30th on the list of top-grossing games in terms of overall revenue on both the Play Store and the App Store, because the really successful free-to-play games just keep getting money from devoted fans. Still, we should expect Minecraft to keep on acquiring new fans at a prodigious rate.
