What sells more than 1 million copies, clocks 5.2 million total online hours spent mining, 4 million total multiplayer sessions, and over 2.4 million multiplayer gaming hours played in just five days?
Okay, I suppose I gave the answer away in the headline already, but for those of you who just randomly clicked through to this page without reading, it’s… Minecraft!

They didn’t say how many pigs have been saddled up and dropped off cliffs for 40 Gamerscore, but I’d imagine it’s probably quite a lot. A moment of silence for those poor porkers.
“Uhhhh, Microsoft just sent out a press release saying Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has sold a million copies in five days,” said Markus “Notch” Persson on Twitter. “Wow.”
He’s just being polite, though. I’m sure another $20 million on top of all the other millions isn’t really such a big deal anymore.
“Oh,” I imagine Notch might have added. “Put it in a hole in the garden or something. I’ll figure out what to do with it later.”
