No I think it's better if they stay focused on consoles because then they would have all these "connect to handheld objectives" in games.

I think the graphics will probley look the best out of psp and ds and maybe they will even add a touch screne but i think it will probley be too expensive. For some reason consumers rather have a cheeper less powerful handheld then a more expensive and more powerful handheld. It's more the opposite when it comes to consoles.

I personally don't get the appeal of a handheld. I like my games on a big screen with big sound. Not scrunched down squinting at a tiny screen. Portability? I don't need to game all the time that I feel the need to play on the go.

No it's not.. For the last two generations of consoles, the "weakest" one has won.. And Wii seems to continue the tradition. Well, unless you count the Dreamcast.. But that one did not stick aroud to the end of last generation.

SNES was the last console that won, while also having (slightly) better graphics.

with handhelds its more about portability and battery life + games that make since for handheld. and the most important thing cheap, people don't want to spend $200 for a handheld. it would be pointless to build the most powerful handheld if the battery life sucks. I mean 10 hours at least play time, or you can get away with 6. you have to cater to the market too. I doubt majority of handheld owners want epic games that take forever to beat, you got to have fun simple puzzle games. witch brings up do you really need a bejewel or tetris game with 360 gfx?

I think if M$ where to make a handheld they would bomb badly and just lose money. let the big N and sony do that.

Even sony is not doing that well against nintendo, nintendo is doing realy well as far as handhelds go, i believe that why they dont want to enter because it will be too hard to run against nintendo with handhelds.

I own both the current handhelds and to honest they are ok for long journeys or plane trips but I wouldnt sit at home playing either when I have my brand new 360 taking up my time. I think Microsoft should stick with the home console market and not divert attention away from it with gimicky handhelds.

i like how you say it would suck with no reasoning or explanation at all, nicely said, personally i think MS has the resources to compete with any handheld on the market, & u kno how it might not suck? if they use a dual joystick (unlike PSP)
