Kind of interesting, seeing as minecraft is already out for playstation consoles.
And minecraft as a title doesn't exactly make for a sequel. What would they be buying the studio for? Notch's likeness?

Merchandising, exclusivity to Microsoft hardware, and using Mojang as a publisher/developer for more sandbox games.
don't think Notch would be up for that. I think he's shown a hate for that very kind of attitude (selling minecraft to be an exclusive) and he's already rich enough to not do a damn thing for the rest of his life and just sit on the title as the owner of minecraft

Not to mention Minecraft probably still has 5-10 years of revenue without even needing intervention from a company like Microsoft. Microsoft would milk that $2bn investment for every cent and end up killing the game as a result.
Imagine once Minecraft's inner workings have run their course, and (depending on consumer demand) a new Minecraft-like would need to be made to fill the gap. I don't want to see it get ruined Rareware-style. Stay away, Microsoft.
Please do buy it. That way fucking 10 year old call of duty kids will 100% not be in my ps4 games.
What's with all these companies buying other companies lately? Like some kind of trend or something.

It's part of the economic cycle that comes around every once in a while. Tells you which companies are following the same economic theories, or something like that,
