I've been saying this for awhile. Design it so that it can play both Windows Phone games and games that are designed specifically for the device. Then add remote play capability for Xbox One, and you're done. I'd buy it just for the remote play capability.

Good point. I'd forgotten how many Vitas were moved due primarily or in part to Remote Play. It's a crucial feature and a proven system seller.

There's a difference between handhelds and tablets. There is a usability issue when trying to play on tablets vs. a handheld. Nintendo has been trying to perfect this style of play since the 1970's and they're still going strong. If they do make a handheld, I hope they don't think it will be a huge hit. Power doesn't mean thing. Must I mention Sega Game Gear and Atari Lynx? Waaay better in terms of everything Gameboy had but it didn't have games.
