Not an official announcement, but it’s probably safe to assume an Xbox handheld is in development.
SteamOS is probably the biggest risk to the Windows monopoly right now, so that tracks.
And it’s absolutely Microsoft’s cycle. New game changer product comes on the market, they rush a half ass version out with the promise of a really good one later, half ass one flops, they scrap the whole idea because no one wants the half ass version, they fade into obscurity.
Tablets, VR, video chat, phones
Anyone remember this?

If they make a device that doesn’t suck, will people not just install Steam on it?
For my money? It won’t allow that without jailbreaking.
I doubt even Microsoft are stupid enough to think they could release a PC-based gaming handheld without Steam support and not fail spectacularly.
If it’s Xbox branded they could probably get away with it.
