Minecraft got off to a good start, selling more than one million copies in its first week. Considering Minecraft is available on Xbox Live for 1600 Microsoft Points ($20), the Xbox 360 version of the game has accounted for $60 million in sales so far.

According to stats on Minecraft’s official site, nearly 6.7 million people have purchased Minecraft on PC. Considering the Xbox sales and previous news that more than 700,000 people have purchased Minecraft on iPhone and Android, the franchise has sold more than 10 million units across all platforms.
