Mojang revealed that Minecraft on Xbox 360 is selling over 17,000 copies a day. Last year Mojang had revenue of $81 million and profits of $8.5 million, even with giving Markus Persson’s company Notch Development $62 million.

“Since Mojang keeps more of the earnings from the new Minecraft versions, our turnover increases a lot this year,” said Mojang MD Carl Manneh. “Our profits will more than double. Markus’ company will also make more money, though perhaps not as high a percentage as Mojang.”
