Did Sony get too cocky not matching the Xbone's price drop this holiday season?

Minecraft is still very popular. Not just game and DLC, but it also moves a lot of merchandise. A sequel could potentially move a lot of units as well.

Mojang makes profit of $110 Million per year (including Minecraft and merchandise). 

That's doesn't make sense to me. Minecraft has apparently sold 50 million unit but only made $110 million a year?

The price of the game varies from $7 to $20 dollars as well. The math just isn't adding up.

Sales =/= profit.

In 2013 King posted a net profit of $568 million on net sales of $1.88 billion, and Supercell made a profit of $464 million on revenue of $892 million. Mojang’s profit was $128 million on net sales of $325 million in 2013.

My calculation was based on current exchange rates from Swedish Krona to USD.

Profits:
2011 $13.5 Million
2012 $98 Million
2013 $128 Million

Perhaps 2014 is better, but it must be reaching a peak with Minecraft out on almost everything this year.  The very high risk is Minecraft is a one hit wonder, as Angry Birds for Rovio, Candy Crush for King, etc.
