Microsoft Doesn't Have Plans For a Dedicated Handheld Gaming Device

Posted by Soulskill on from the mobile-kinect-will-never-be-a-thing dept.

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."

    They lost the battle when they couldn't force everyone to use their shit on every device owned. High five to them for trying though.
