Not an official announcement, but it's probably safe to assume an Xbox handheld is in development.

If Microsoft stuck with what it already does, it would be better. They already have cloud streaming technology which makes playing games on their ecosystem possible on any screen. Having a separate handheld console would complicate things. I just don't see the appeal.

They are risking Linux becoming an actual thing in the portable, desktop & living room spaces.

Roflmao at Linux winning the desktop space.

People thought the same about portable, yet they did things for it to happen. If a company as inluential as Valve does the same for desktop, it could become a thing. I don't mean dominate, I mean like a noteworthy event, just like the Deck.
