They allowed Blue Dragon on the DS, so it's not out of the picture.

They allowed Viva Pinatas as well.

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.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

It debuted better than the PS3 and PS4 versions but people still won't develop a damn thing on the system other than ports and indies.

LOL Minecraft was coming before MS bought it.

That doesn't mean anything. Microsoft could have stopped it!

But they chose not to.

Why would they stop it? They don't have a handheld system competing against it and they want to make money.
