Mojang’s hugely popular world building title Minecraft is selling more than 17,000 copies a day on Xbox 360.
As reported by it24, Mojang MD Carl Manneh claimed that as a result of steady sales on all platforms, the studio is set to more than double its profits from last year.

In 2011 the developer reported profits of more than £5.6m, with revenues totalling £52m.
Markus Persson's own company Notch Development took £40m of last year's revenues, although it is expected Mojang will recieve a higher percentage this time around after the Minecraft creator stepped away from leading development on the indie hit.
“Since Mojang keeps more of the earnings from the new Minecraft versions, our turnover increases a lot this year,” said Manneh.
