Biggest news? Why? It changes very little

Don't down play the importance of Minecraft, I have never played the game but I still know that it's one of the biggest current gaming IP hence the $2.5B price tag. My three young nephews have been playing nothing but mine craft over the summer and they were eagerly waiting for Mine craft PS4.  It's not like the graphic will suddenly be outdated for the next gen console since the game was never about graphic!

but will Minecraft 2 do enough to recapture the magic or be the next Wii sports resort?  Also will MS take it off everything except X1 because otherwise it'll be just like 360 having Minecraft exclusive which didn't do much hardware wise.
