$2.5 billion?!
For perspective, Atlus--a developer which has three times Mojang's employee count and a long history of quality products--sold for $130 million. Mojang has one IP and most of the talent which made that work will cash-out now.
That said, I'm sure the Playstation version of Minecraft will be unaffected by this, just like the iOS version won't be affected. It would be stupid to cut a revenue stream off as potent as Minecraft. Any deal will affect future Mojang IP and give X1 owners priority on updates, but this is basically for Minecraft 2 or whatever other products Mojang has in mind for the future.
The question is if Mojang can make a second fantastic product when most of the talent has left and the rest is under corporate scrutiny. I think not.
