BTW, I do see Microsoft cooking the books on this to make shareholders happy. This is what I think they could do:

If they bundle a copy of Minecraft with every XBox, Windows Phone and Windows PC, Microsoft will pay Mojang a fee that will make Mojang's profits look amazing, in turn making the purchase of the company seem worthwhile. The money spent by Microsoft on Minecraft will be partially offset by the profits received by Microsoft from its subsidiary Mojang (and therefore not affect the overall Microsoft bottom line too much to upset investors). Win-win?
