Will Minecraft 360 still recieve updates after One has launched? I think it will. For a time.
4J has already said that they will continue updating the game alongside the Xbox One version. They've also said they will stick with Minecraft for years to come.
short of some serious changes, the Xbox One will never live here.
You are aware that the Xbox One no longer requires any sort of internet connection short of it's initial setup to work. It also no longer has any restrictions on used games, lending games, selling games, etc.
There really aren't any other things to change. It's basically just a more powerful 360 now that share a lot of features with it's main opponent, the PS4.

I never said 4J Studios would abandon Minecraft, just eventually move on to the new console only. It's the way the world of game publishing works. Just like Nintendo no longer made games for the GCN after the Wii was released. All publishers do this and it is in their best interests to do so.

You assumed you know my reasons for not wanting the Xbox One, but was only correct about one of them. "Checking in" with Xbox LIVE once a day didn't bother me in the least. After all, we "check in" every time we sign onto the 360. Where we live, if the internet is out, it's likely the power is, too, so no playing any console anyway. DRM, however, was one of my issues since we have a healthy group of friends with a lot of varying tastes. We share games and the kids are constantly bringing games to play here, taking games to friends', etc. We live in a pretty rural area where renting games hasn't been an option for almost 10 years, so sharing them is how we play. Though it seems Microsoft has done an aboutface about DRM, we won't know if it's true or there's limitations, etc., until the release of the console.
Even though i didn't cite any of MY reasons when i said "short of some serious changes, the Xbox One will never live here." I still have to consider many things, such as, the required Kinect or the OS that is in reality the twin to Windows 8. And that's just for starters. SmartGlass has proven more than buggy at the best of times and Microsoft has been very quiet about keyboard support. I'm not talking about the keyboards that connect to the controllers, but actually PnP wired/wireless USB keyboards. It's how i communicate with people online while playing all online games not only the Xbox 360. Would you like me to continue on? I have quite the laundry list.
More on topic, i look forward to playing Minecraft 360, whether or not it remains supported, until my 360 dies of old age.
