Its a prototype. It has nothing to do with graphics and they are purposely under developed.
If they're deliberately underdeveloped, then he's an idiot for posting them online. That's pretty much a flagrant violation of Game Marketing 101 there - never give people a less-than-positive impression of your game relative to the plans for it.
Honestly, I think what you're going to see isn't going to be too far removed.
Notch as a whole is a flagrant violation of Game Marketing 101. It's gotten him in trouble on many occasions, but it's part of his charm. He's 100% open and, as far as I know, honest, with his fans. If he's thinking something you know it. If he's working on something you see it.
Consider this not an effort to gain sales but a guy letting people see how he develops games.
