Wasn't Minecraft on its way to the Vita before the adquisition?

well, microsoft could have stopped its release, but they didn't.  

Yes, but if Mojang had the game half-made already, Microsoft would have been wasting potential sales if they decided to can it.

Also, why is Microsoft not releasing Minecraft on 3DS or N3DS? I understand not releasing it for the WiiU, because it competes with the XBone, but Microsoft doesn't have a console on the handheld market (besides tablets and phones, but those are different). Almost 50 million users is a tempting number.
