The difference is that Minecraft has a much bigger player base than BYOND.com. Therefore, the statistics will be skewed when comparing the two.

I also think what Techgamer mentioned plays a role in this. BYOND games has a reputation of being tile-based games that are just decent when compared to the rest of the indie world. So a person could say "why should I spend what little cash I have on one of them?" But things are obviously changing for the good now!
