Minecraft Pocket Edition Pockets Big Bucks

 

Now, we all know that Minecraft for the PC has been incredibly successful but did we ever expect the mobile version to be as popular? Apparently it is and is selling surprisingly well.

Minecraft Pocket Edition for iOS and Android has broken the 700,000 sold barrier, according to Mojang’s Daniel Kaplan. Between iOS and Android versions, Mojang is selling around 5,000 copies per day, which is a pretty amazing feat considering the game costs£4.99 ($6.99) and has no crafting or survival elements. Well, not yet, anyway.
