There must be an Xbox Portable?
I don't know if Microsoft could break into that market right now. All the arcade games would be great on a portable system though!
Uhhhhh, this would be the worst possible time for XBox to introduce a portable gaming device.
Between the DS and the PSP getting new, higher-tech SKUs and the iPhone disrupting the game all over the place, Microsoft would be stepping into an already crowded market. On top of that, we're in a recession, and while Microsoft has more money than the Monopoly guy, I think that even they would have to really be pressured to burn money on another hardcore development cycle.
Granted, they can't develop for any of those other platforms, but their best bet in digestable entertainment would be to release bite-sized PC games or possibly better support the community games front. Announcing an X-Box Live branded portable hardware at this point has too many risks and not enough of a pay-off. I say nay, sir!
Well played Kid Nixon, cause frankly why would want another system that could red ring, ecspecially one so small and light, that when it does screw up we wind up tossing it down the stairs or out the window.....yeah wouldn't be such a great idea if u ask me!

Spontaneous combustion of handheld whilst walking around town is not something I look forward to.
And trust me if Microsoft makes it will more than likely happen! haha
I'd be intrigued to see what such a device might look like. I think it would be incredibly funny if a Microsoft handheld was released with 2 analog nubs and the new PSP-GO was introduced with just 1 still. Also, you have to wonder how Microsoft would work their system to combat hacking and game theft with takes its toll on both the current PSP and DS portables. As for the notion that the device would eventually "red-ring" I would hope that MS has learned their lesson on that front. That being said, I fully expect some of the devices to fail since all new systems have bugs when they hit the market. MS is on a much shorter leash however and their history means people will not adopt the device should rumors of "RRoD-the sequel" start to circulate.
behold the x-buttnugget 8 its just like a psp in every except it plays crappy versions of halo instead of crappy versions of killzone
Why? So something else M$ makes can RROD? Oooooooo rimshot!
I'd personally like to see them bring out a 360 with a built in 42" CRT screen with a petrol powered generator on wheels attached and have them claim it as the 'worlds most powerful portable console'.
But in all seriousness, I don't think theres room this portable gen for MS to break through, but I think they'd be mad not to release something to compete with the next generation of portable hardware.

I wouldn't mind seeing this happen. I'm not sure I would get one, but if Sony felt like there was a handheld gaming system that competed with the PSP for the same type of games, they might step things up a bit as far as getting more games out, more often. I could be dreaming of course, but regardless I would be interested to see their take on portable gaming.
I don't think they want to involve themselves in the handheld market. It's so against what the xbox is.
I think the zune is their gaming portable.
I dont see Microsoft getting a foothold in the handheld market, when DS and PSP continues to stand strong.
No, the market available now is limited and Nintendo has a stranglehold on it. I just don't think they have what it takes to make it in the portable gaming realm.
an x box portable would be very cool. but doesnt anyone think that it would look like x box is just leeching off sony with their psp
It would surprise me if they weren't going to try to break into the handheld market. It might not be any time soon. I imagine MS were toying with games consoles behind the scenes for years before the Xbox came out. Various prototypes and redesigns and crap will happen before we hear anything about it.
It would also surprise me if they succeeded. No-one can compete with nintendo.

I love the Xbox 360, but I wouldn't buy a portable xbox from Mr. Softy. It already has XBL. Plus, why would someone want to pit two of their own game systems against each other? Not everyone that owns a portable owns the console as well....Do the Sorny/Ninty portables even complement their corresponding consoles?
I think MS should stick to PC and consoles only.The handhold market is pretty much run by Nintendo. [more]
I don't think the potable would go through. Because of the red ring of death on consoles hapening everyday already. I think if you dropped it, then it would get the red ring. But like the psp, ive through mine against the wall alot of times and it still works like a champ. But i don't know. maybe they will pull something out of their ass. GO MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!!
