During an interview over twitter, Jeb was asked; "will Minecraft or Minecraft PE be released for other consoles?" Jeb replied "we've been throwing it around the office. We'll just have to wait for our contract with Microsoft to expire." Later someone asked "Will Minecraft PE be released for the PSVita?" Jeb replied, referring to his earlier tweet. "The PSVita is a console..."
So, it's a high possibility that Minecraft will launch on another console. Just not for awhile.
As for the WiiU, DS, and other Nintendo consoles, Jeb tweeted he had no interest in porting for Nintendo at the moment. Sony is most likely going to be in contract with them next.
I don't believe it should expire... Microsoft, 4j Studios, and Mojang did a good job on the XBox Edition. The only other console they are bringing it to is the XBox One.Microsoft is the smart way to go... More people would buy it there then on other consoles...

No offense to you, but I'm going to believe what Jeb, a dev of Minecraft stated, rather than what a player of Minecraft stated.
Uh...Xbox One sucks!!!1! Right guys? ...And Windows 8 sucks!!11 You know Windows 8 was an experimental version right? People still haven't figured this out? Windows Xp-Good Windows Vista-Experimental (bad) Windows 7-Good Windows 8-Experimental. And then there's the Xbox One. People started hating on it, and eventually the scum of the internet all agreed that it was the worst thing anyone has ever made. Now that Microsoft fixed the things people raged about, the only thing they can think of is the price point, which is 100 dollars more than a PS4, but includes the supposedly improved Kinect. I think people need to shut up until they see it in action.

I think if your console does what it supposed to do, whether it is xbox or Playstation, you should be grateful for people you don't have any connection to, making an item that you enjoy. You like Playstation? Does it function like expected? Good, shut up and play it. You like xbox? Does it function like it supposed to? Good, shut up and play it. I'm sick of this fanboy . If you have the same f*cking game on different consoles, and they're all playable, than sit your ass down, stop being an annoying little fanboy, and play your f*cking game. I for one am getting both consoles because they each have their own exclusives.
Think about it this way. Minecraft is going to the XBox One, the crap console. I'm sure people won't stick with xbox just for MineCraft and will instead buy another minecraft account for PC, Mojang makes more money.
Considering the announcements for Minecraft on the Sony Playstation 3, Playstation 4, and Vita, we can assume that any exclusivity contract which Mojang had with Microsoft has expired or will expire shortly.

On Topic: I'm guessing that it will expire in about a year to a year and a half, although I could be wrong.
Also, here is an awesome suggestion I had: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1745550-biome-effects/
How can you judge it when it won't even be released for another 3 month's? You sound like all the Sony fanboys.
"Wake me, when you need me."

MC will be a launch title for the PS4 that comes out in NOV 15 or NOV 29 (?)
I think this thread can be safely locked now.
