Eurogamer has quoted Mojang's Daniel Kaplan as stating that there are "no plans" to put Minecraft out on PlayStation Vita. As for other games the studio has its hands on, who knows for sure.
Kaplan said Scrolls is "definitely coming for touch screens," but probably not Cobalt -- "the controls don't fit the touch screen." I had accepted that Minecraft would appear on every platform willing to embrace it -- the game has an Xperia Play version, after all -- so this isn't something I was expecting to hear.
Not that it's a bad thing, either way; I've certainly had my fill of Minecraft. But the Vita will be the hot new gaming device for some time to come, and you have to wonder, "What if?"

Your original vision of a gamer enjoying Mincraft on the toilet is what I (and several others) have dreamed of since Minecraft mobile was announced. Suffice to say, Xperia Play is less tempting to a real gamer compared to a PS VITA. Please, make the dream of Minecraft VITA come true.
Sincerly, Handhelds4Ever.
Secondly, I find the reasons for Minecraft not coming to Vita to be more interesting. It is weird that they already have a touchscreen version of Minecraft and aren't bringing it to Vita but at the same time mention that certain games might or might not because of the touch implementation.
No.
Still I'm perfectly happy with Minecraft staying on the PC (Don't really count the Xperia version as working MC yet)
