I know 4J said they're updating till PC version 1.2.3, then breaking away into a entirely new direction. Does this mean we won't be getting any of the PC goodies after 1.2.3? Also, my bad if someone already brought this up.

I'm pretty sure they will pull in the stuff we really want the most. I'm quite excited what 4J and Mojang can come up with for the xbox edition.
I think what 4J means is that they will put more updates together. For example, after 1.2.3, they will probably skip to the official release of 1.6 ( when mojang finishes it).

No they specifically said they are going their own way, away from the PC.
This is the future of Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition after 1.2.3...
Ultimately, the 4J team's biggest goal is to catch up to the PC version of Minecraft...and then break away in an entirely different direction. The final release version of the PC game is the ideal, but future content beyond that is more a matter of delivering experiences that suit the platform. The Xbox 360 may not be able to go bigger than the PC, but that doesn't mean it's always going to exist as a "lesser" product by comparison, or even that it does right now.
"Currently what we're doing is obviously the 1.8.2 update [from the PC beta period] followed by the 1.2.3 update [from the final release version]. After that point, we're sitting down with Mojang and taking a look at where things are going and where things should be going next with it," Burns revealed. "Notch is also quite keen that we add in specific content for the Xbox which will not be on the PC, so we need to discuss that as well once we're at that point."
While he couldn't speak in specifics, Burns was more than happy to paint a general picture of what fans might expect. "The mods that are being done on the PC, obviously we can't just take those, but we are having a look at what people are enjoying and thinking could we do content that would pick up on the key things that people are enjoying in mods, and add them to the [console] game. At the moment that is what I would call the long-term view."
In short, Burns sees more of a competition-oriented future for the Xbox 360 Minecraft than the stock PC game offers. "Being in a living room is markedly different from being at a desk with a PC. What I'm hearing a lot of with the Xbox game is the family playing with the kids and the parents together," he said.

Does that mean no Wither? I WANT MY F*CKING WITHER!
Probably not.
This is a very good business move on their part. They'll create two distinctly different products. Most people will probably end up buying both. I'm actually really glad I own both now that I know 4J and Mojang want to do something different with the Xbox 360 Edition.
i'm sure they are going to add stuff from the PC version, even after 1.2.3. there's no reason for them to completely ignore all the good/interesting stuff from the PC just because they are going to "break away".

N..n..n..o w..w..wi..wither? NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WWWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON TO LIVE ANYMORE! *Stab*

I'm sure they'll add things like upside down stairs, upside down slabs, rotated logs, trip wires, etc.
I just don't picture them following exactly anymore. They'll just pick certain things then make up their own stuff.
I know that they don't want to add too much from after 1.2.3 but I'm really hoping they add a few things that should be relatively easy to impliment, such as carrots, potatoes, the 1.3 xp changes (Level 30 cap, xp from mining), enderchests, farmable cocoa beans, 1.4 potions, controlling pigs with carrots on a stick, and mobs moving through nether/end portals.
Ohhh I will never get to use the pc stuff!
Will there be trading in 1.2.3
They could at least make everything they have in 1.2.3 like villages as good as they are in 1.4 like the better trading system etc etc.
Or even go right up to 1.4 it's only one more big update.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I put my shirt on one leg at a time, just like everybody else.
A bit premature to speculate on something we have no way of knowing. Maybe 4J will update to 1.3 after other avenues are explored. (like all the other stuff being "looked into" -texture packs -mods etc...) Maybe, Maybe not...... either way people will play.

Alright thanks everyone for the replies, yeah I hope they add some of the new things from PC like controlling pigs with a carrot.
