If there was an Xbox Handheld do you think it would be better than the DS / PSP

I don't xbox will never get games like The World Ends With You / Advance Wars / Golden Sun / God Of War .... ( good games )

If Microsoft put out a handheld, I would not buy it. That much I am sure of.R3FURBISHED

Contrary to what has been said so far, I think M$ making a handheld would in some ways be a good thing. It would drive the handheld market more; maybe giving us a powerful handheld with some nice innovations in.

On the other hand though I do agree with all you previous posters: M$ shouldn't really be trusted to make any more hardware! Especially not compacting it so a portable RROD is more likely :P

It would probably be the worst out of the three.

hell no, who would MS have developing games for it? :?

Haha I am trying to have an objective opinion here! :P

To be fair though, we can't speculate much either way on what M$ could do in the the handheld market one way or other because they have not entered the handheld gaming market before.

if microsoft is willing to go the phone business, I think there could be chance they can do a handheld. maybe one day.

No, a handheld requires a good first party which Microsoft doesn't have. It seems like Nintendo has more than half their devs working on DS games. Hal Labratories has made like 6 DS games and 1 Wii game if you count Brawl. Intelligent has made 8 DS games and 3 Wii games. Then you have Nintendo EAD, that is about half Wii games, half DS. Then there is Monolith who has worked on 4 DS games 2 Wii , Nintendo Software technology and Brownie Brown who work on lesser DS games, Nintendo SPD group 1 who have worked on 4 DS games, and 1 Wii game (Other M), And SPD group 2, who had made 2 DS games and 0 Wii games. I havn't even said anything about the 3DS either. It requires a lot of first party. Which Microsoft has a low amount of. The only good thing about it is, Rare will most likely make games on it, instead of the console, and it might have a high 3rd party support, if they do not go to the 3DS.

id like to have my halo ds

thats about it.

it would probably 'be' better, but it would just sell terribly.

like the Zune, although there's nothing 100% conclusive, I've read how it trumps the iPod as a media player, but it just doesn't have the sales to back it up.

that's why MS is just integrating their XBL platform and some simple games to their Windows Phone and Zune, instead of making a new device, promote your current hardware and play it safe.

for what, so we can have MORE halo games? yea, no thank you.LP4EVA2005

believe it or not, some people want those games on handheld....because they enjoy them...you know how Mario fans who own a Wii/DS probably love having the option. Zelda and Metroid to boot.

it's not worth spiting people over a game series. especially when you don't have to see or even play said series.

hell no, who would MS have developing games for it? :?

and for some odd reason after 4 years later (could be 5), microsoft is still making the zune with their newest model (the 64gb) coming out in august.

We dont need a handheld version of RROD. But seriously we dont need 3 handhelds (not counting iPhone). The market isnt big enough for that. Microsoft is smart for leaving it alone. GoldenElementXL

Why isn't the market big enough for that? There's certainly enough room for three consoles? Don't take that as me supporting the idea that Microsoft should make a handheld though, because it would probably fail miserably. Handhelds seem to rely on exclusives more than anything and Microsoft is clearly lacking in that area, and several other areas but I won't get into that.

I agree to an extent. I do however feel that series such as Halo, and characters such as Mario need to just die out soon.
