Lol, the xbox console brand is not dead. With or without minecraft 2, the xbox brand is still strong enough to stay alive.
Likewise, Minecraft has more potential in working on other platforms. This is an IP that could really rival the likes of mario, pokemon, gta, or cod in sales. The last thing microsoft would want to do is limit its possibilities for growth.

If it could rivial the likes of those games, why would you NOT want to make it console exclusive? Kids would be forced into buying Xbox Ones. lol

Except it wouldn't force people to buy an Xbox. Instead it would prevent more people from getting minecraft. This is the reason why call of duty sells over 20 million per game despite being annualized, and why mario kart 8 sells over 5 million. Call of duty has no restrictions and generates a ton of profit. If mario kart wasn't an exclusive, it would also be doing cod-like numbers each time, but because it is tied down to an unproven console, the potential for the IP is severely brought down.
