The only thing that has ever been said about SMNC on consoles was: never say never. So a man can dream...
This is an honest question. Why is Minecraft able to update so often on XBOX, and why couldn't SMNC do the same thing, assuming they wanted to?
Either Notch has a deal with MS or he's willing to pay out the arse to update I dunno. I do know that MS left a bad taste in Uber's mouth with MNC and I know a few other devs are not happy with MS and XBL/GfWL
It's not even Mojang developing Minecraft on 360. 4J Studios takes care of the porting job, Microsoft's go-to devs for porting old games, like Perfect Dark and Banjo-Kazooie for XBLA.
