Minecraft Xbox 360 screenshot… CREATE… ANYTHING! Now the best-selling XBLA game EVER!

Minecraft for Xbox 360 Live Arcade sold 400,000 units to become the best-selling XBLA game of all time, dethroning Trials: Evolution for that title!

This is a huge feat for developer Notch and the Minecraft-brand, and continuing proof that the Indie-darling is a license to print money, and that the game will blow away sales expectations for whatever platform it lands on.

Developer Mojang and creator Markus Persson tweeted the news, saying:

“Well then. Saw the official sales numbers for the first 24 hours of Minecraft Xbox 360, and it’s very, very good. Profitable in an hour.”
