My day one Mac Appstore sales

There aren't too many data points about the mac Appstore, so I decided to let you all know just how lucrative it is to make a great app.

My app: http://www.typeli.com Appstore: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/typeli/id503079958?ls=1&mt=12

Day 1 sales: 11 (USA 7, Germany 2, Japan 1, Singapore 1)

which translates into 10.5 * 11 = $115.5

What's most interesting however is the relative performance as compared to other apps. I checked the top grossing list for Productivity apps multiple times yesterday, and was very surprised to outperform some apps that Apple features on its website. Typeli fluctuated in the region between 108th and 150th place.

What do you think? Is it really that bad out there or am I missing something?
