It seems silly to me, but there has been speculation that Microsoft wants the users. Minecraft is the number 1 paid app on iOS and Android, and Microsoft wants to push its mobile offering and take some of those users.

I can't see it actually working -- do users really switch phones for a single game? Even if a new version were to become exclusive or measurably better on their platform?

If they didn't do that with skype or office why would they do that with Minecraft?
