Two ways I view this.
Business - The two billion is a lot, but to me the surprising part is how risky this is. Depending on how Mine craft is managed it could go down as a crazy fad that lasted 7-8 years. Microsoft clearly have hopes and plans to keep this IP valuable longer than I see.
Personal - To me this epitomizes Microsoft in relation to games. Ask what is the biggest thing right now and move inbig on it. As a gamer this move means nothing to me as does nothing to expand or diversify Xbox.
