Microsoft - XBox handheld... - View Post

Anyone hear the rumor that Microsoft is planning to make an XBox portable? If they do, what would it look like? The DS is the most popular to date, so let's see, how about 4 screens, 2 of them touch screens, the other 2 fold out to give a panorama view. It would be mini HD-DVD, to compete with the PSP, have a battery life of about 2 hours, just long enough to watch a movie. It would of course have 18 buttons, weigh about 5 pounds, so it could compete with the original XBox. It would also be a cellular telephone, so it could compete with the iPhone. It would access the internet, download large games in like 3 seconds, etc, etc. Really, Gates should leave the portable wars to Nintendo and Sony for now, then come in at the last minute and make a system that just blows the two of them away.

 

I dont think MS wants to try and get into that market, but if it did... Well, I hope you have oven mits.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
