Title has sold 3.6 million units thus far
Mojang has revealed that Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has sold over 3.6 units since its release in May.
The sandbox-building game's Xbox Live version, which was handled by 4J Studios, has been enjoying commercial success since its record-breaking launch. Upon its release, it broke all previous Xbox Live Arcade sales records by selling more than any other game during its first 24 hours of launch; it sold over 400,000 units on day one alone.
It then went on to sell over a million units in the following five days, which was followed by three million units being sold. Currently, 17,000 copies of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition are being bought on a daily basis.

Unfortunately there isn't, the console version is exclusive to Xbox 360.

Any idea if it's a time exclusive or is it more than likely PS3 players will never get it?
