Minecraft is a game that safe to say is extremely popular. There are many reasons why people love the game. It could be that the ability to build up an entire world by yourself could have its appeal, or perhaps its somewhat retro graphics has a certain novelty value attached to it, but whatever your reason is for loving the game, it seems that there are millions around the world who love it just as much, if not more.

That being said, according to a recent post by Microsoft, they have revealed that Minecraft for the Xbox 360 has managed to cross the 12 million sold mark, which apparently makes it one of the most successful Xbox 360 games ever made. This is a huge leap from back in October 2012 where it was reported that the game for the Xbox 360 sold 4 million copies.

This was later improved to 10 million copies back in December of 2013, meaning that in about 4 months, the game managed to sell an additional 2 million copies, which is pretty impressive when you think about it. The game is still being updated and there be a Candy Texture Pack that is planned for a release on the 18th of April, joining other texture packs like the Skyrim texture pack.

So, what do you guys think? Are you that all surprised that the game managed to sell so well on the Xbox 360? We should note that the 12 million mark is for the Xbox 360 alone, meaning that the number could be potentially a lot higher when you consider that Minecraft is also available on the PC, Mac, and mobile devices.

Ever wish that something in the virtual world or in a video game environment would be able to make the jump to the real world? If you have answered in the affirmative, and happen to be a huge fan of Minecraft, then you would definitely be interested in the £19.99 Minecraft Light-Up Redstone Ore. You get to sleep right next to the warming glow of this faux rare and precious mineral, sporting a trio of brightness levels which one is able to activate by giving it a tap.

Do bear in mind that this happens to be an officially licensed Minecraft collectible, so you do not need to worry about being accused of purchasing a bootleg merchandise. All right, it is not made up of a precious material, but rather, just rugged ABS plastic compared to having it being carved from solid rock. Deep within happen to be red LEDs that glow compared to being just some priceless molten ore. A gentle tap with your hand on the Minecraft Light-Up Redstone Ore would allow it to cycle through three modes of brightness, where it is powered by a couple of AA batteries.
