Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies

Minecraft already has the distinction of being the bestselling video game of all time. Today, it adds more down to that particular feather in its cap with the announcement that it has sold a staggering 300 million copies. “As we approach the 15th anniversary, Minecraft remains one of the best-selling games of all time, with over 300 million copies sold, a milestone no one could have dreamed of when we were all placing our first blocks,” Helen Chiang, head of Mojang Studios, said in a statement.

This year, your choices are between a crab, an armadillo, and a penguin. Personally, I voted for the penguin because it’s cute. Three hundred million copies of Minecraft is nothing to sneeze at, eclipsing sales of just about every other piece of entertainment media since we started keeping track. To put it in perspective, Thriller, the bestselling album of all time, has sold around 70 million copies. The bestselling console, the PS2, sold around 155 million units.
