"Lots of you bought Minecraft at Christmas, smashing download records all over the place," read the report. "The numbers are so massive that even Patrick “master of stats” Geuder raised an eyebrow, and that hardly ever happens."

The Xbox 360 version sold 100,416 units Christmas day and 325,591 units Christmas week. The Pocket Edition sold 283,939 units Christmas day and 706,419 units Christmas week.
