Mojang's sandbox build-'em-up Minecraft remains a popular favorite on the Xbox 360, surpassing 12 million units sold as of this month.
"It is quite amazing!" Mojang's Daniel Kaplan said in response to the new sales milestone. "I remember when we first started talking about sales numbers that we'd be thrilled to have sold 1 million copies. This would put us on the same level as Battlefield 1943 or Castle Crashers, both of which are fantastic games, so it was something we could aim for. We never dreamed of selling 12,000,000!
In December 2012, Minecraft sold over 10 million copies. Mclijst Mojang and 4J Studios, the development partner, will continue to update Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition in the coming months with fresh content. This includes a Candy Texture Pack which will launch on April 18.
