Subject: How many copies does a top program sells?

I checked fide rated players, they number more than 65,000. I assume a serious
play would invest on a top program. Then there are amateur and computer chess
enthusiast which number more than a thousand.

Is it safe to assume that a top computer programmer is able to sell 65,000
copies?

I read a post before that a typical version of a program only sell around 2,000
to 2,500 copies.

Rebel website before indicated that it sold more than 250,000. but that is for
all the versions spanning many years
