Minecraft Sales Hit Mind-Boggling Two Million Mark

Two million copies sold? Not bad for a game in "beta."

Mojang's internet sensation isn't even out of the testing phase and it's raking in enough dough to make any developer jealous. Under development since May 2009, Markus "Notch" Persson's building set experiment just keeps gaining traction. On the Minecraft website, Mojang claims over 28 percent of its 7 million-plus registered users have bought the game.

If you haven't checked it out in a while, now's as good a time as any. Just last week, Notch released the 1.5 update, which adds achievements, statistics, and weather effects.
