If Microsoft goes Handheld,

How would it be, the name and its features?

Would it have a chance against DS or PSP?

How long would it last?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

They just wouldn't. An Xbox portable would have to be equally multimedia-featured to the PSP, and so suffer from the software piracy/buying as a multimedia player/battery life problems.

Then they'd still get beaten by Nintendo. The PSP used the Playstation 2 brandname at its peak, has most of the franchises found on the world's most popular console, and still lost. 

It's not worth the risk - having a handheld won't acheieve Microsoft's real goals of bashing Sony and increasing sales of Windows.

If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.

^^^ was going to say, if they did, they would probably just evolve the Zune, which may be their ultimate goal.

If you are not interested in anything the DS or PSP are offering what could Microsoft offer that would make you buy? just wondering...



Yeah they won't.. Even Sony wasn't able to deal with Nintendo, with a more sophisticated device, and, like Game_Boy said, with the Plsystation brandname at its peak height. Nintendo and the DS are like Apple and the iPod, and Microsoft has already tried competing against that with their Zune. Look how that turned out.
