Looks like Sony is making a new handheld. What do you guys think, should Xbox make their own handheld? If so, should it be an open PC handheld with Xbox branding, or a closed Xbox ecosystem only handheld? Or should they just stick with partners for PC handhelds like the Asus ROG Ally they already partnered with? |
If the handheld market begins to blow up then I think it would smart for them to try to make one too, the ecosystem thing is interesting my belief is that they eventually need to have a unified ecosystem/marketplace with Xbox/PC/Mobile in order to try to be on top.
But in order for that to happen they would have to eliminate the MP paywall on Xbox completely and I don't think that they are willing to give up that revenue just yet. The biggest problem though is how you would manage the revenue cut on a unified store as I don't see MS lowering that 30% Xbox revenue cut to match their Windows store 12%.
