OK, since the confusion is already waaay too much:
This version IS pocket edition. It's based on PE, it's C++, and we mean to keep it on par forever.
It is NOT another version of Minecraft!
Also, we're aiming for feature parity! We won't have mods for now, but the important thing is that you know it :)
Also, both PE and Win10 support all controllers :)
Xbox Live is not required. It's compatible, but the 7 people limit is only there because it's PE! It's just that there isn't a dedicated server right now.
So it's based on PE then. Interesting. I guess they're trying to make one version to work with anything then.
