When you have a multi-million selling game and a new platform comes along, you don't tell the world you're definitely going to port it. You wait for the 6 figure check to arrive and then port it. If it's 7 figures, you call it a platform exclusive.

Given his taken on money — and that Notch has taken a very public stance against participating in helping to close the PC — it is very unlikely that a fat cheque would result in a change of his actions. Time will tell, I suppose.
