This may be a stupid question, but with Minecraft for Xbox 1 coming u soon, how long do you think mojang will continue to update the 360. I play PC mostly, but I also enjoy playing minecraft via couch on xbox. I do not want to buy xbox 1 I hate it. Will they keep updating the 360, at least till it gets all the PC version's features?
MG unless you're talking about a different tweet from the one we discussed before, they did not use the specific phrase "a very long time."
OP - the easiest way to answer this question is to look at the PC development history and try to figure out how far into it the xBox360 can go. then you calculate approximately one version step every six months (which may be a little fast now that 4J is handling next-gen too).
MCXBLA is currently at 1.3PC (with a little 1.4 content brought forward). If you look PC1.7 was another massive change to the world generation system. The addition of massive biomes makes no sense in the limited MCXBLA worlds, so I predicted that 1.7 (non-biome content) will be as far as MCXBLA goes. I think it is also likely given that such a schedule will also take about a year to 1.5 years to accomplish, which would put us right around 3-year mark from the introduction of the xBone and the likely tail of general support for the 360.
In other words, expect 3-4 more content updates and then that's it.

I think they're not necessarily gonna stop doing content on the 360. Sure, there are going to be things that can't be added to it such as all the new biomes, but what they can do is add in content that got added to the PC version or stuff that is being worked on currently for the PC version and leave the biome update to the Xbox one edition.
im not sure if they will continue to update 360, but im guessing they will. and im a good guesser, i passed the OAA ( big end of the schoolyear test) by guessing.
To be honest, I do not see WHY Mojang would continue to update 360. I want them to but I do not see how it would be profitable to do so. They want everybody to upgrade to the next gen, and it will not hurt them if some people do not upgrade to a new counsel, it will only hurt the player really. Kind of sad for people who cannot afford a new $400 system...........
Also even PE is catching up to the 360 with the new 0.9.0 update and already has bigger worlds. In a couple of updates I suspect it shall surpass the 360. Really odd lol........

They've already said they will continue to update the 360 version of Minecraft. No one knows exactly how long they plan to though.
To be honest, I do not see WHY Mojang would continue to update 360. 4J handles the coding for the console versions. I want them to but I do not see how it would be profitable to do so. They want everybody to upgrade to the next gen, and it will not hurt them if some people do not upgrade to a new counsel, it will only hurt the player really. Kind of sad for people who cannot afford a new $400 system........... The game has already been massively profitable for them. I can't speak for what 4J "want" people to do, but I'm sure bringing a game as popular as Minecraft to other consoles just makes good business sense.
Also even PE is catching up to the 360 with the new 0.9.0 update and already has bigger worlds. In a couple of updates I suspect it shall surpass the 360. Really odd lol........ As far as sales are concerned, PE has outsold the 360v. But Mojang handles the PE so the content comparison is an apples/orange issue.
I addressed this post in bold. Now, about your original question:
The 360 is limited in processing power and memory, which doesn't necessarily limit the amount of content that can be added. All of the consoles are using the same source code (C++) so it's not a terribly big deal for 4J to just "slip things into" current gen versions.
Its a safe bet that the X1 and PS4 will be continually updated for some time (MC360e just hit its two-year mark). Any content that they get that doesn't require a lot of memory usage will probably find it's way to the 360 and PS3.
Some things you can expect will come:
-Redstone Update, including things like hoppers and comparators.
-2x2 Trees (oak and spruce).
-New Crafting Recipes, like the mossy cobble recipe.
Some things not to except:
-Larger Worlds. Not gonna happen, stop asking.
-New Biomes (although some items, like dark oak saplings, might become loot-chest items and packed ice might become craftable).
-New Mobs. The Wither boss, and by extension wither skellies, are confirmed and it seems bats are making their way in, but don't expect much more than that.
>1: They just drop the 360 and leave it. (not likely)
>2: 1 or 2 more updates, then bye bye 360. (what I think will happen)
>3: A bunch more updates will happen (probaly won't happen)

The universe, it loves you.
You have played the game well.
Everything you need is in you.
You are stronger then you know.
You are the daylight, and you are the night.
The darkness you fight is deep within you. But so is the light to purge it.
You are not alone, and you are not separate from every other thing.
You are the universe, experiencing itself, tasting itself, reading itself, understanding itself.
i only think that it will continue to update because it would be dumb to stop updating. there is so much stuff on pc, and i always thought that the reason they stoped updating pc is to work more on other versions. im not sure, but mc360 has sold pretty well. i myself would have gotten pc version, but i have x finity internet and to use the internet on the computer, we have to connect the computer to the wifi router on that cord thing. not to mention sergion simulator 2013 lags the crap out of my computer.

Guys. 4J will continue to update the 360 edition as much as the xbox one ,PS4, and PS3. They will all be on the same versions, the only difference would be: Xbox One and PS4 will most likely have bigger worlds. They wouldn't just stop updating, not everyone has a spare $400-$500. They would lose players if they stopped updating it.

They will stop updating the Xbox 360/PS3 version eventually. It may take a year or two, but it's going to happen eventually.
I only say this because Xbox One has copped a lot of negative feedback which has led to a lot of users sticking to the 360 console.

Boyo

The xbox 360 already can not handle minecraft. Lag in multiplayer is really bad.
