Minecraft reaches one million sales

Minecraft today hit the million-sale milestone; over thirty percent of the game's registered users have paid for the premium version of the game.

The Minecraft stats page shows that over three million users play the game. Earlier on, the number of premium users rolled into seven figures.

This milestone is particularly impressive as the game has only recently rolled into beta stages.

The developer is unsure of how it will celebrate the occasion.
