portable console

@OP, I don't like the idea. You're welcome.

MS is totally missing an opportunity. They should shrink the Xbox360 down to a portable form factor and let that be their mobile console. Then re-brand 360 games for digital distribution, put it up on the Xbox store, and boom, instant player in the handheld
market!

Xbox One becomes their main platform, and X360 (rebranded Xbox Portable) becomes the mobile platform.

Why they don't figure this out is beyond me!

Another reason I can't see this working... Nintendo have absolutely dominated the handheld market and have done since Game Boy. Yeah the PSP was great when it first launched but all of that has settled down now, not to say it's a bad console but it certainly
doesn't have the sales or support that the 3DS has and our home consoles have.

Sure you could try and push things like an internet browser and app support which would have blown our minds in 2005 but this is the day of the smartphone which is pocket size, has all those things, everybody has one and a lot of people are using them for
gaming anyway.

Although it would be interesting to see Microsoft's take on the handheld market, I don't personally see it as a market that they can justifiably break in to. When you take a step back and look at competition, developer support and the monumental costs of
kicking the whole project off it just doesn't add up.

I would buy one if they did release it. The Vita idea is the only next gen idea coming from the PS4 this time around and I would welcome Microsoft copying it. I do have my pc but when the other half is watching the main tv it would be handy.

I do have a Windows phone though that kind of doubles as the same but it does have a small screen, eats battery power when playing and gets warm!

OP did you start this thread to just bully anyone who posts anything contrary to your PoV? Wait in your OP you said only post if you agree... well don't I feel dumb.
