The developer of Mojang, Johan Bernhardsson released the news that Minecraft: Pocket Edition has reached 5 million sales via his Twitter Page, which has pushed the total sales to 17.5 million.
PC edition remains the leader in sales, now with 8.3 million copies and Xbox 360 Edition is the third best selling platform with 4.5 million copies at 1200 Microsoft points each.
Markus 'Notch' Persson announced the impressive sales results on December 29 via twitter. Although he initially claimed the sales occurred on December 24, Notch was quick to resolve his mistake with a subsequent tweet.
On Christmas day, Mojang sold 453k copies of Minecraft platform wide.
According to Polygon, Minecraft had sold approximately 17.5 million copies across all platforms as of December 13. The Christmas Day sales might have pushed sales to around 18 million.
