I still don't understand how it gets so popular! The developers must be extremely proud of that. Isn't Minecraft out now on PS4/Xbox One? If not, then I'd imagine it'll sell another millions upon millions of copies. Wii? Even millions of copies more!

The Minecraft next gen versions are coming, but according to the devs no date set. I think they are playing coy and just taking their time as MC is still selling great on PC/360. There's also a PS3 version still to come too.

"The game is running on both Xbox One and PS4, but there's a lot more work to do on both. No dates for either yet"
 
Project spark ftw but damn for never wanting to play Minecraft on 360 but will play on xb1 cause of the any time updates

Season’s greetings! Owen from Mojang here. I have some exciting news that you might be interested in. It’s about Minecraft – a game that’s sold over 30 million copies to date. Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, you’ll probably build simple structures to protect against nocturnal monsters. Later on, you might work with your friends to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary that pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.

Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition will be available to download from PSN on December 17th in North America. Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition and Minecraft: PS Vita Edition are also being developed, but we don’t have release dates yet. Expect them sometime next year.

I’ve received a few questions concerning the PS3 edition over the past few months, so let’s clear them up before I get thrown off the blog…

Q: Does Minecraft: PS3 Edition feature everything from the other versions of Minecraft?
Minecraft: PS3 Edition comes with everything present in other console versions. They’re pretty much identical to play, and will be developed in tandem from now on.

Q: Will Minecraft: PS3 Edition feature DLC texture packs and skins?
Downloadable skins and texture packs will be available from PSN soon after release.

Q: Will there be PlayStation-specific content?
PlayStation-specific skins and texture packs would be cool! Fingers crossed, eh?

Q: Will Minecraft: PS3 Edition feature Remote Play or compatibility with the PS4 or PS Vita editions?
We don’t know yet, sorry. We’ll let you know as soon as we do.

That’s it for now! I’ll do my best to answer any more queries you have below! Merry Christmas/Nadolig Llawen everyone!

The ability to do and build anything you want is very appealing to many people...23m of them to be exact. D:
 
legos and erector sets fulfilled this need when I was growing up... ;)
 
One of the most boring games ever. Bought the PC version when it first came out, dug holes for 10 minutes and never returned.

BFT. Let's see the numbers after a few months. Will it push Minecraft to 30 million??
 
I've been thinking about picking this up. I'm glad there's a demo because I've got no clue what this is all about.

It should be awesome on the Vita when it's released.
 
Minecraft is one of the greatest games of all time. If you don't have it go ahead and get and thank me later. That's all i got.
 
Ha! I knew it didn't take that long. It's official: It has sold more than 1 million copies! Nice.
 
Some people have a lot of free time.

This is very well done though.
