Microsoft Doesn't Have Plans For a Dedicated Handheld Gaming Device
DroidJason1 writes: "Rumors have persisted for a while now that Microsoft is working on a dedicated handheld gaming device to go against the Sony PS Vita or Nintendo 3DS. The head of Xbox has now responded to a question about it from an eager gamer on Twitter who asked whether there were any plans for a 'handheld Xbox-One-like gaming device.' The answer is no. Microsoft is focused on Windows Phone, tablets, and perhaps both with controller support someday."
Doubt it. It's more likely that they believe in a "let's make something that does every fucking thing you can imagine, but do none of it well" in a similar way as Sony, which they've proven with the Xbox 360, and especially made obvious with its dashboard replacement. That device? The cell phone, with their own OS on it. They didn't buy Nokia for nothing...
The day they showed they lost - that blog post complaining about webkit-* for mobiles.
Good, the hand held gaming console is dead...
No it's not. You are just too stupid to realize the world doesn't evolve around what you and your friends do.
Be seeing you...
