The physical version of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition (which retails for $20, the same price as the digital version) is the fastest-selling retail Xbox 360 game in America, says Markus “Notch” Persson.

“So apparently the physical disc version of Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition has been out in stores for several days. Had no idea,” the Mojang boss tweeted. “And they're telling me it's currently the fastest selling console game in the US. Neato!”

Minecraft has been selling rather well on the Xbox Live Marketplace since its launch back in May 2012, with 6 million copies sold. Microsoft recently announced that an Xbox One version with larger maps and expanded multiplayer options is in the works.
