No point, biggest handheld market is Japan - Microsofts weakest territory.

Japan may be the strongest handheld market in ratio to consoles, but they are still far behind Americas in actual sales of handhelds.  EMEAA is even further ahead of Japan, so actually, Japan is the weakest of the 3.  

OT - No, Microsoft won't release a handheld.  There really wouldn't be much benefit for them, as it isn't an emerging market anymore.  This next generation will be the last official handheld generation IMO as smartphones and tablets swoop and and steal the marketshare.  

Wow.  You ... you really stole basically every bit of thunder I had coming here with this post.  All I can do is QFT at this point ...
