Portable xbox one x in 2021 would be awesome. Nintendo will have to counter it by releasing switch 2 earlier

The switch came out 4 years after the wii u so it's possible for a portable xbox one x to come out 4 years after the xbox one x

Lets put some things into perspective.

Wii U was a very weak console at launch, just slightly more powerful than the 6-7 year old PS3/360 so making a more powerful handheld 4 years later was possible.

Xbox One X in 2017 is significantly more powerful than Wii U in 2012, not even comparable. A handheld version is not possible in 2021-2022. At best they could make a portable version of the regular Xbox One by that time.

 

As for Nintendo needing to counter, when are you going to learn that power is not what makes a handheld sell?

Atari Lynx, Game Gear, Sega Nomad, Neo Geo Pocket, WonderSwan, N-Gage, Playstation Portable, Playstation Vita.......all more powerful than the Nintendo handheld at the time and with the exception of PSP they all sold like shit and even then PSP was only able to get ~35% marketshare.
