What do you think would happen?

It would dominate 15 3.54%
 
It would be successful en... 57 13.44%
 
It would flop 158 37.26%
 
Vita would be a huge success in comparison 192 45.28%
 
Total:422

Microsoft wont compete with handhelds. They have allowed Rare to make games on Gameboy Advances in the past  like Banjo-Kazooie Gruntys Revenge and Conkers Pocket Tails. Nintendo have and will continue to dominate that market. Im surprise Sony still try to compete. It is a losing battle. If anything MS will use there Nokia Windows Phones as there handheld gaming devices. They wont make a Xbox Pocket (whatever) as a seperate device. Multifuntion devices is MS's vision.

People saying Windows Phone is a flop must not have looked at marketshare numbers lately. It is doing great.


seriously odd choice of colours for a pie chart, looks like pacman has popped some LSD but yeah, windows phone isn't doing badly in comparison to when it launched, but it'll be some time before it returns a profit for Ms I'd say.

Yes, it isn't, but to achieve this it had to infiltrate one of its moles in Nokia, sink it and gather what was left of it.
About a handheld, maybe they could make optional add-on gaming controls for winphones and Zune, something like... Circle Pad Pro.

TGS, Third Grade Shooter: brand new genre invented by Kevin Butler exclusively for Natal WiiToo Kinect. PEW! PEW-PEW-PEW! 
 


Microsoft wouldn't make a handheld. They would make a phone or tablet with gaming controls.



I Think they feel that they manage quite well with Windows Phone. Are MS the only one making original games for their portable platform or is the same true for Google and Apple aswell?

How's that windows phone for working out for ya?



Windows Phone anyone ?



I don't really see a market, but I guess they could make a kid's competitor to the 3DS. I think they would use the Nokia division, it would be powerful and with a beautiful screen and indestructible.

But I think it would also be a phone. So not sure if that would count.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

It would dominate.......








The bottom of the charts.
