At the speed 4j studios is pumping out updates, we will catch up to the pc minecraft in no time at all. Which brings me to one question: what happens when xbox catches up to pc, what then?

I'm sorry, I have a difficult time detecting sarcasm when there is no tone to judge it by....
You have got to be the first person I have ever heard use the words "speed" "4J" and "updates" that weren't immediately follwed by the word "FAIL" or "FML"
Xbox MC is going to be nothing but a port of the PC version. If 4J DOES manage to fully update to current pc version, they will have to wait for the pc to update, then they have to port that update. Xbox mc isn't getting anything special.

Unfortunately your pretty wrong about the part of Xbox only being a port and that it is not getting anything special. There is a possibility that the Xbox Edition of Minecraft will receive its own exclusive content I mean look at the freaking Crafting system :F and im pretty sure it will go its own way once it catches up to the pc version of minecraft.

You gotta think, there moving 1.2.5 where 1.9 was supposed to be. I am happy with the pace there putting out updates
It is actually 1.2.3. And as far as putting out updates faster, so far they have been at the same pace as the PC version. It actually took us longer from 1.6.6 to 1.7.3 than it did for the PC version. As for when/if we catch up, in my opinion we will always be one update behind as 4J will have to wait for the official release of the next update before starting to work on it.

It has been stated that the XLBA version is not a direct port.
I honestly believe after 1.2.3 or maybe up to 2 updates after that, it'll all cease.
4J won't be updating this game forever, especially with the loops that must be jumped through thanks to Microsofts Validation process.
BuT hell, I could be wrong. I think they should keep doing so until the next Xbox comes out, then make a Minecraft 2. (assuming licenses and copyrights fall into place)

Isn't it obvious? They'll simply wait for another PC update.
And while they're waiting they could think of various ways of increasing the world size or other cool things for Xbox MC to make it unique.

exqctly and all PC players will be jelly when they add the unicorn mod jk lol
4J has never said what's going to happen to MCXBA after 1.2.3. I wouldn't be surprised if it went it own way, since it is it's own program on a completely different platform and not really tied to the PC one. I doubt they'll drop one of the best selling programs the Arcade has.
Another way to look at it is, I don't think it will ever "catch up"- how do you catch a moving target? Will the cart ever catch the horse?
I wouldn't hold my breathe waiting for the Xbox version catching up to the PC version. I have personally had nothing but disappointment when it comes to PC ports to consoles.
I still don't really understand why they ported the beta version in the first place. Would have made so much more sense to have ported a more recent version in the first place.

and why would they have to wait for the official release? this isnt some fan made mod.im sure 4j would be able to get all the info they need well before the pc update is released.

4J said they want the Xbox 360 Edition to be about a month behind the PC version of Minecraft. That is most likely so they can take their time working on the updates and trying to limit/fix bugs as much as possible.

hmm, i did not know that. disregard my comment then
You want the XBox crowd to stop whining about the game being behind the PC version? If this game is truly not just a port, and 4J has the ability to give it exclusive content... well... Herobrine. Imagine the scandal!
BTW, I am an X-Box player, just so nobody thinks I am looking down on X-Box players. We're not ALL whiners.

They need the actual code before they can copy it. While they could work on the snapshot code, it isn't code we would end up with, so they might as well wait until the code with the least amount of problems is available to them, which would be the official release code.
