A few things

What does this mean for all the Playstation versions of Minecraft, will it still be supported with updates?

Couldn't $2.5 billion be better spent on oh I dunno actually making some good new IPs? Think of how many games could of been made with $2.5 billion

Is Mojang secretely making another game?

If this is all for Minecraft it seems like a waste of money, how are they going to profit from this, everything will likely have a cost now.

Microsoft can still spend $2.5 billion on new games. Some time ago they already said they're spending a billion on X1 exclusives. Also, there isn't always a guarantee a new IP will be good even from an established studio. Have you heard about Destiny?

I would assume Mojang had plans for future projects, maybe even a sequel or big updates to Minecraft.

This purchase is so huge that there must be plans we aren't aware of.

I've heard about destiny. What about it? 

It's that big financial flop from Activision. I heard it only sold like 6 copies. 

But I doubt those "six"  people were satisfied. Financials of a game do not equal the worth of a game.
