Mojang's Patrick Geuder said that Minecraft's massive sandbox is close to 54 million copies across all platforms. He also said on Twitter that sales of the console (Xbox 360, PS3) versions have already surpassed that of the PC and Mac versions. The game will launch on Xbox One, PS4 and Vita in August, the latter being cross-buy compatible, free for those with the PS3 version. Xbox 360 and PS4 owners who have the game on their Xbox 360 or PS3 will now be able to download the most recent versions for $5.

The alpha version of Minecraft was released in May 2009. It was two years before the full release in November 2011.
