Could the Xbox Series S be MS entry into a Handheld Device

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure it's not as simple as just die shrinking a chipset designed for a home console and stuffing it into a handheld. 

The demands of a portable system are quite different than a big box plugged into the mains. You can't just use the same RAM, for instance. You'd have to change the hardware to the point where it wouldn't be "the same device" any more.

Review the video I posted as the person goes into great detail on that subject. 

The device he describes wouldn't be 1:1 with a Series S as he admits changes would be necessary.

It would also have to compete against Switch 2, and assuming a late 2024 release as he claims, would have missed out on half the generation by the time it releases and get maybe 4 years before Xbox moves on to the next generation. 

It's definitely possible, don't get me wrong, but I'm still not entirely sold. Plus the guy honestly came of as rather full of himself.
