What is Notch actually working on, if anything? The way I see it he's using the Mojang brand to sell games developed by other people, including Minecraft right now.

Notch is now working 0x10c. It's a new Sci Fi type game that he's hoping will catch on like Minecraft has.

That is niche as hell. Notch isn't stupid enough to believe it will sell.

The very fact that it's Notch creating it will be enough to get those interested in Minecraft to take a look. Niche as it might be, you could say the same about Minecraft. It'll make money, either way, and it'll probably sell decently well, though I'd doubt it would come close to Minecraft numbers.
