No, Minecraft is a Microsoft exclusive.
You make a server
over 500,000,000
Many people all around the world play Minecraft. To find friends to play with, you should create a Minecraft blog.

Over 8,000,000 and counting.
Not really a question. If you mean "How many out of ten people play Minecraft", then you just need to divide the amount of people who own minecraft (8,006,809 currently), and divide that by the world population.
it took me a while but freind a few people that play minecraft if your having trouble make sure you have xbox live gold also to find people there is a section on minecraftforum.net

No creatures live in lava, lava damages all mobs in the same way as normal people.
Today, 14th of Juny, 2011, a bit over 2.5 million people have bought the game. But I believe there are almost as many people playing minecraft illegally as those who play it legally. Therefore, about 5 million people in total. The total population in the world is about 7 billion. So... About 0.07% of the world play Minecraft.
Without a server, that is impossible.
