As much as I suspect a MS handheld is inevitible, I don't think we'll see it THIS year. Not only would it make them look silly, but without Japan (the handheld's home), a lukewarm start for the 3DS, no rumours and miilions, nay, billions of dollars invested in Kinect, it seems like a suicidal move.

If we're gonna hear about a new gaming console this year, it'll be from Apple.

Billions were not invested in Kinect, stop talking crap you made up.

And a handheld is not inevitable, MS are not stupid, there is absoloutely no room in that market. Windows Phone 7 is their 'handheld'

At least 500 million was invested, and that was just advertisement! :P Most likely seece, it was a 1 billion dollar investment. Apparantly Microsoft Kin was also a billion dollar investment (I did any assignment on this), so it is reasonable to assume that this might be as well. However.... he is most likely making crap up. 

Nah, to buy the techonology (which was pretty far ahead anyway) and the isralie company, was a mere $30 mill

I meant the overall investment. Game development, and what not.
