Minecraft creator, Markus "Notch" Persson, tweeted this morning another of Minecraft accomplishment, saying, "I got told Minecraft for XBLA passed three million sales today!"
Minecraft previously set XBLA records for day one sales records when it launched in May, and then went on to sell a million units in just five days.
To date, Minecraft has over 35 million registered users, according to their site.
Players can join a multitude of different servers dedicated to various game mods, where they can work together as a team to build something amazing, or fiendishly destroy structures.
An open ended sandbox (literally) style game available for less than $30, it's not hard to see why so many people have latched onto the Minecraft phenomenon, and further updates to the XBLA version should help keep it along.
It's so successful that the game even has its own convention, Minecon, held in past years in Las Vegas and Washington State, as well as a slew of merchandise including shirts, scarves, magnets, sticky pads, and recently, even Legos. The team behind Minecraft, Mojang, is even open to the idea of a movie or television show. What comes next for Notch and Minecraft?
Whatever it is, there's no height limit.
