I don't know where this website pulled their numbers from, but I think they're incorrect.
According to Minecraft's stats[1], in the last 24 hours 12,025 people bought the game, times 9.95 Euro = 119,499.50 Euro, which is a bit less than $163k/day in American dollars.

- yafujifide 16y agoThe number of copies are in Euros, and there are 1.44 US copies per Euro copy, so the number sold is 36000 US copies per day.

- noarchy 16y agoEven if it were "just" $50k/day, that's not far off from how much some programmers make in a year, working for someone else. He's much better off on his own. With that kind of cash, he could pay other people to help him realize his dreams.
