Could Minecraft bring back the PS VITA to popularity?

Due to the upcoming release of Minecraft for the PSVITA, some people are actually anticipating the release for it in August 2014 since it's the first portable version of the game. Because PSVITA sales have been negative lately, the first portable version of Minecraft could re-establish the PSVITA as a contender again.

Would you get it?

I wouldn't buy one just for Minecraft, but if I already had it then I would buy it even though I'm not the biggest fan!

Also, this would be great with kids. I've seen a lot of kids playing MC on their Mums/Dads iPhones.

Sony made the Vita a great piece of hardware but the problem is that titles never came from the 3rd party studios.
In order to boost the Vita need to take a massive haircut on the selling price with the costs for making on the vita.
Throw in PS4/Vita dev kits together with support to help get it working on the vita or a version for the vita.
Give studios a big cut of your software on the vita.

Problem is Sony know the Vita was a failure and not sure they know why.

I don't think a game out on every console will boost this system's sales.

I think it might help sell some Vitas but not a lot. This is one of the better games being released for it but to bring the Vita to popularity it's going to need more titles then just MC. Sony has pretty much said there are really not going to be anymore AAA titles for the Vita so I don't know what will drive sales.
