Minecraft tops 100 million units sold worldwide

Here we go, the latest and greatest from Shacknews...

We know Minecraft is popular. It has been popular for so long that it was already a year and a half ago that Microsoft dropped $2.5 billion for developer Mojang in September 2014. So it should come as no surprise that the game has now sold more than 100 million units.

According to a quaint little graphic from Mojang, the game has sold at least one copy to every country and territory in the world (including four in Antarctica). That works out to be about 53,000 copies sold per day. We'll let you peruse the details below:

The game, originally released on PC in late 2011, has spawned versions for last and current gen consoles, as well as mobile. It has also prompted a Story mode, developed by Telltale, that was released late last year. Microsoft just recently revealed that it will be creating a version of the game designed specifically for the Chinese market as well.
