Because it would not attract any of the good handheld support from all the Japanese devs who bother to support handhelds.

Seriously a Microsoft handheld would flop hard.

Well you can play their games on a Windows 10 tablet/laptop. That's close enough.

Andrew House said the other day that they don't see handhelds being worth it anymore.

There isn't really a competitive handheld market anymore. Its not worth it for Sony or Microsoft to compete with Nintendo there. Their core base isn't for handhelds.

This is correct, as IIRC their gaming division has reportedly never made a profit.

They lend Rare to Nintendo for their handhelds on rare occasions (ie: Banjo Pilot, Diddy Kong Racing)

But Sony's handheld has flopped, and Nintendo has a stranglehold on the market with 2 handhelds now. Hell Xbone barely has any exclusives, so idk how they'd promote a handheld with that >_> It would only lose them money if they entered the handheld market.

Think about it?

Forza Motorsport Portable or PGR portable?

or classic games like Fuzion Frenzy or Blue Dragon on your handheld

If there's a PC handheld that can meet a Windows 10 game specs (like the GPD or something) you could play them there. As time goes on this will become more and more possible.

Otherwise you can always use the Xbox One game streaming. It works pretty well. Works with 360 games too.

Look how shitty their apps and games were for Windows phones. It would be that bad.

I know right..

but look at Nintendo and Sony, they been bringing they're classic games back by use of portable systems..

why not Microsoft? for once.. like The first 3 Halo games on a portable device

they could build the portable device to look like the original xbox controller with HD screen if they have to
