I thought about that aswell, However look at it from the other angle, if Minecraft isnt sold on PS4 than Xbox just gained a killer app which would lead to more hardware sales etc so its not exactly a lose situation if Minecraft wasnt sold on PS4 as you might think. 

Apparently, Microsoft doesn't think that way, or they'd also have to keep it off of the Vita, Switch, and whatever you can buy/play it on. Like I said, it's a form of business suicide, given how massive the IP is and the fact that it's already been on multiple platforms. Totally different from other IPs like Gears or Halo.

Why would it be different? If somone wants to buy a PS4 or an XB1 and knowing that Minecraft is only available to the XB1 dont you see the appeal? Minecraft sells well on everything, and someone looking for a home console and wants minecraft than theres your killer app right there. 

All i am saying is it will deliever an edge to Xbox over PS4 if Minecraft isnt sold on PS4 anymore. Its not going to make the XB1 outsell the PS4 or even boost sales numbers though the roof however there is an audience out there for Minecraft. The game has an image and a reputation in the gaming world. It wont be a lost cause for MS if its not sold on PS4 as it will drive there other side up. I do say i think MS are waiting and milking the sales on the game as much as they can on PS4, probably just to help pay back that 3.5b they spent on it. However if its not selling on PS4 anymore than expect heavy marketing campaigns for the XB1 version.
