Minecraft hits 7 million sales on Xbox 360 Versions of the mega-popular Minecraft have reached over 7 million sales for the Xbox 360 console, according to the developer.
Mojang announced on Twitter that the Xbox 360 version of the game had reached 7 million sales, but did not break down the numbers to indicate whether it was combined sales of the XBLA download and the disc sales. Minecraft on XBLA hit 6 million sales at the end of March.

Combined sales of Minecraft for Windows PCs, Macs and Linux systems have crossed over 11 million.

I must give Minecraft a go someday, see what all the fuss is about. Comes across as a true virtual Lego... unlike the actual Lego games.

Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm
In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect
We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum
We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
