Why An Xbox Handheld Makes Perfect Sense – Next-Gen Console Watch

by admin



Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch. This week Daemon is joined my Max from the PlayStation Beyond podcast, and Ryan from IGN’s Podcast Unlocked. This week the trio discuss rumors of an Xbox handheld, and why it actually makes sense for Microsoft. Obviously the Nintendo Switch’s success has changed the industry, and Valve’s Steam Deck has set off a wave of handheld PC imitators—can Xbox also strike gold with a dedicated handheld of their own? And should Sony follow suit following the launch of their PlayStation Portal streaming device? Plus we go over last week’s poll, and have a new poll for you tol vote on at IGN.com.

MS makes money on software and services (game subscriptions). They lose money on console hardware. So why does an XB handheld make any sense?

A smaller more ergonomic handheld similar to the Switch would be Amazing! You could just have the handheld and buy Xbox Gamepass and you'd be set with hundreds of quaility games.

People can already play Xbox games on the go and basically on anything that has a screen already don’t see how a handheld is gonna change that those of you who think it will help haven’t a brain cell

No more hardware. Focus on Xbox exclusive must-play games. License Gamepass app / remote play to Steam.

@Spongeguap April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

Just connect your Xbox controller to your phone.

"Xbox has had great hardware since the 360 refresh" *IF you don't count the absolutely dire quality control on the Elite Controllers

@ogg7490 April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

Why mention the steandeck and not the rog ally

@gamingallday9225 April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

It doesn't. I much rather use my steamdeck. A PSP sure.

@joandiaz2283 April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

Please Xbox make exclusive games & first party games to

@megatronsfury8048 April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

Nobody buys XBOX hardware now. Sony and Nintendo killed them in the home. Nintendo will destroy anything handheld. They will be an app on TV's and other hardware within 5 years. Gamepass only digital bollocks.

Love how the only talking about 1 of the 2 next gen 10 consoles nintendo is gonna do big thing idk what Sony is doing

@jacobcordell2882 April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

Xbox- handle held
Nintendo- stop copying off of my paper .. jk go ahead

Ps5 pro. Theres no reason for it. They've barely scratched the surface of the vanilla PS5. People aren't caring about incremental upgrades. It would have to be groundbreaking for me to even consider purchasing. With PS games being ported to PC there makes no sense for an xbox handheld or another PS handheld. Only reason would be the die hard console fans. Those that are resourceful and smart go with PC/Pc handhelds

@Jokerwolf666 April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

They're all going to have hybrid systems mark my words. Within the next 5-10 years all the consoles will be hybridized.

@AlexTheHorrid April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

I’d love it. IF Steam was apart of it, I’d only be thrilled if the workshop was included

@MrDavidRicketts April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

Xbox dont know what it wants 😂

@miguelroman4294 April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

Would definitely buy an Xbox Handheld!

@KenDej April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

The PS Portable is a waste of money. You can’t use it without having your PlayStation on.

@81macross1 April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am

Please stop…just stop.

@shanelee80 April 3, 2024 - 1:32 am
