Minecraft tops Black Ops on Xbox LIVE charts

Print
Minecraft

The latest Xbox LIVE activity chart is further proof that people just can't get enough of Mojang's world-builder Minecraft. The indie smash hit has taken second place for the week of 14 May, the first game to beat Call of Duty: Black Ops since it's release in November 2010, with the exception of fellow Call of Duty stablemate Modern Warfare 3.

Minecraft is one of only two Xbox LIVE Arcade titles on the chart, with Trials Evolution in at 14. Unsurprisingly it is those two titles which have taken the top two spots on the XBLA sales chart too. If you needed more proof that Mohang's blocky sandboxer is the flavour de jour, the top three titles on the Top Indie Games chart are all clearly Minecraft-inspired. Check out the full charts below, courtesy of Major Nelson's blog.
