That's not including the overhead larger corporations tend to enjoy. It may cost quite a bit to keep the game running, in which case they'd need to sell much more than another 100 million copies.

In case you're not aware of my general opinions on this kind of stuff, I think it was brilliant to sell Minecraft. Hopefully Microsoft does well with it, though.
