Developer Mojang has announced that Minecraft: Pocket Edition has sold more than 30 million units. To celebrate this milestone they have released an infographic. 30 million is more people that live in Texas and is 23 times hotter than the Sun during the Summer and is more than the entire observable universe.
"Everyone likes big numbers, right? I know I do. Here’s a stonker: 30,000,000! You good people have bought Minecraft: Pocket Edition over 30 million times. Thanks!," read the post.
"Let’s put that into perspective: if each Pocket Edition sale was an average sized dog, and you walked said dog every day with a retractable leash in moderate temperatures across uneven terrain, it would consume approximately 290,566,788^3 kj of energy. I know. It’s a big number."
