We've heard a lot about the Xbox Live Arcade version of Minecraft selling like gangbusters--most recently crossing six million on the platform. But nothing puts popularity in perspective quite like time spent, and the game has reached an impressive milestone there too: 1 billion hours.
Minecraft, you may have heard, is pretty popular. In January 2011, while the game was still in beta, it passed 1 million sales. Two and a bit years later, the PC edition has now hit the 10 million sales mark. Gosh, that's a big round number. The Xbox 360 edition recently passed 6 million too, while the mobile version has sold at least 7 million.
Minecraft's next console update is coming on Friday, 4J Studios announced today. This ninth update to the game, creatively named Update 9, will land on the wildly successful Xbox 360 version.
Minecraft has been hugely popular on the Xbox 360, thanks in part to a steady stream of updates that follow the PC version's lead. Title Update 9, said to be "coming soon," will create new end-game behaviors, alongside a ton of other additions and fixes.
Minecraft developer Mojang has a lot of money. With the block-building game selling millions of copies, it's an undeniable success. But, Mojang is ready to make even more money off of its game through two new initiatives. The first is relatively straightforward: an Xbox 360 retail version, giving the game new exposure to gamers that don't always check the Xbox Live Marketplace. The second is far more lucrative: a subscription-based service that could potentially "bring in more money than Minecraft itself."
The long promised Redstone Update for Minecraft has been given a date for next week. You can wait until March 13 to grab the new update, or you can hit the pre-release that's already available.

Minecraft has been a hit on Xbox 360, becoming one of the chart-toppers on Xbox Live and most recently hitting the five million sales mark. Other consoles would probably enjoy some of that action, and for Sony it's a possibility. Nintendo? Not so much.

Minecraft for Xbox 360 continues to rack up the number of copies sold since its release in May, surpassing the 5 million mark on the last day of 2012. Those numbers were fueled by a 453,000-unit bump on Christmas Day alone.
Minecraft's runaway success caught many off-guard, none more so than Markus "Notch" Persson, creator of the game. Millions of copies later, he founded Mojang, and a new documentary focuses on the challenges of running a video game company. Minecraft: The Story of Mojang is a feature-length documentary that looks at Persson's rise to fame, and offers a detailed look at his new studio.
The Xbox Live Arcade version of Minecraft has been a breakout success on the platform, but it's missing one key thing: an ending. That's all set to change once Title Update 8 hits.

Minecon 2012 took place in Disneyland Paris over the weekend, and with it came some details about Mojang's plans for the next big Minecraft update. Version 1.5 is being nicknamed the "Redstone Update," and it's scheduled to come sometime in January. As the name implies, it will focus mostly on the power resource and its associated machinery.
Activision's Call of Duty series has ruled the roost on the Xbox Live activity charts for a few years now. The current game usually tops the list and others fight for the remaining nine spots. But Minecraft has been no slouch in the sales department, and just recently released a large update, helping push the game to the top of the charts and past the usually-dominant Modern Warfare 3.
Minecraft continues to be a sales juggernaut. In fact, the Xbox Live version has just recently crossed the four million mark. Not to be outdone, the PC original can now be purchased at retail stores.
Windows 8 has already received a fair bit of criticism for its new Windows Store app marketplace, which some developers have interpreted as a move to make Windows PCs a more closed platform. Popular indie developer Markus "Notch" Persson, the creator of Minecraft, has now lodged his own complaint -- by refusing to help put Minecraft on the OS.
