Despite Over 520 Million Copies Sold, Why Does Tetris Remain Second to Minecraft?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Minecraft was developed and published by Mojang Studios and released in 2009. It has been ported to many platforms and uses two different game engines, Lightweight Java Game Library (Java) and Render Dragon (Bedrock). Despite these differences, all versions of Minecraft are considered to be the same game, which has sold over 300 million copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, over 68 officially licensed Tetris games were developed by over 40 developers and released on over 65 platforms (including iPod and other devices). There are also over 70 unofficial Tetris games, many of which are commercial versions that have been purged due to the Tetris Company’s policy of not approving unauthorized games.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tetris is the second-bestselling video game franchise worldwide, with nearly 520 million copies sold<\/strong>, behind the Mario franchise, which has sold 832.37 million. However, Mojang is the clear winner in single-game sales, with Minecraft (2006) having sold over 300 million copies<\/strong> across all platforms and still counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
