I have to give you credit for going the extra mile here. Losing the Viva Pinata IP would imply they are losing Rare. A spin-off baseless rumor which helps reinforce the first baseless rumor. You get an A for effort.

 Edit: I take that back. You still list 2 rare games as launch titles which would contradict this. It appears you just randomly stumbled onto what would have been a good idea. Consider modifying it on the next site you post this to.

Seriously in Japan? Would have made a lot more sense to release this at E3 and would have made E3 a lot more entertaining... though it's only a little while to wait you have peaked my interest enough to where I won't totally thrash you for not giving any proof rather just ignore you till you're proven one way or the other.

If viva pinata DS is anything to go by, NOT HAPPENING

my sources are telling me different.

MS has problems to keep secrets in the company, especially the gaming division. Check Lips, You are in the movies, pricecut etc. All leaked out before. A new system would be something else.

They've repeatedly said they're not interested in jumping into the handheld market.

And announcing it at TGS? Tthat would be silly, itwould have a debacle of a launch there.

i doubt it. the xbox isnt that type of console to be portable. it isnt right. the difference between the 360 and the pc is the controller and interface.

download exclusive games... LOL that is PSPHACK2 material. At least cartridges offer protection ^^.

:/

No link, no belief.

This is such crap. My source says it's launching with THREE Mistwalker titles.

Given Microsoft's track record, I can't believe there's even a hint of truth to this as we'd all know about a handheld and the impending sale of Rare by now.

Download only games would mean that everyone without broadband shouldn't buy this game.

What price point would this thing come out at ?

There doesn't apear to me much developer support for this.

How would the console differentiate itself from what's already on the market?
