Uhm....I'm sorry what? @=at not a and its portable with an r and an a (sorry to flame but I hardly understand you) I'm off topic, but yea I read that Microsoft doesn't like the whole portable gaming idea. Also the closest I think Microsoft was going to get to portable was the Gizmondo, I think it had Windows CE or some variant of it on it, and we all know how that turned out.

PSP is good enough for me at the moment because they basically just started on the portable scene so wait for better games (GTA is great, liked it but it was definetly testing waters for the next GTA for PSP).

Xbox portable: fall 2007, spring 2010, somewhere in between, or never?

Here's a fun question to chew on for the weekend. If Microsoft were to launch a handheld device, when would they attempt to do so, and what preconditions would need to be satisfied first?

To be clear: Microsoft has repeatedly noted that they've got no interest in launching a handheld gaming device at this time and that they're wholly focused on the Xbox 360. However, if they were to establish a solid position for the Xbox 360, might they turn their attention to growing the empire?

Is the handheld market large and attractive enough? Probably. Are trends moving in the right direction and do people desire mobile entertainment? Yes. It seems that the only reason it’s not a Microsoft priority is that they’re preoccupied with not losing another $4 billion on the Xbox 360.

Let’s therefore assume that companies (even Microsoft) are constrained in the number of products that they can build, launch and support at once. It follows that a company with such constraints will seek to stagger the release of their stationary and handheld consoles so that the development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution phases of the work don’t bunch up and create bottlenecks.

Here’s a brief history of handheld releases. The first number is the approximate date of the system’s release. The number after the plus sign is the number of months after the release of the company’s previous major console:

Nintendo Game Boy (1989.04, NES + 42 months)

Nintendo Game Boy Color (1998.11, N64 + 22 months)

Nintendo Game Boy Advance (2001.06, N64 + 54 months)

Nintendo DS (2004.11, GameCube + 34 months)

Sega Game Gear (1990.10, Genesis + 24 months)

Sony PSP (2005.03, PS2 + 54 months)

Assuming this pattern holds, one might begin to look for an Xbox handheld around 2005.11 +22 to +54 months, which would put it between fall 2007 and spring 2010.

What do you think?

The things you guys think about astonishes me, is this all you do is ponder something that will never happen? Microsoft CLEARLY stated they will not do a handheld device...do you realize how big the thing would be?! Look at the Xbox,first and 360, for crying out loud. (both of them are clunking huge) It would be like trying to hold a 13 inch tv in your hands. (exagerating a bit but think about it real hard, psp is sort of big and its got barely better tech than PS2 exept for ram)

yes but rockstar said they would not release gta:lcs for any other console than psp but thy are reconsidering and releasing for ps2 supposedly

IF something were to come out we would probably get news about it sometime now...people knew about the PSP almost 2 years before it came out. I hgihgly doubt ms is going to make an xbox portable.
