But if they, Xbox, could streamline windows os to a level that like Steamdeck OS is, and keep it open for other stores and streaming services, they could have a serious contender.All Xbox games run on PC already and by extension , the Steam deck, Asus rog etc.
Nadella already stated they’ve done mistakes in the past, and in the leaked documents there was a portable shown in their in house product.
It would be a neat next gen thing tho.
They wouldn’t have to compete with switch, honestly no portable can officially compete with Nintendo.I'm no insider "journalist", but...
XBox hardware, out of the 3 makers, is the lowest. PS hasn't had a good track record with handhelds. Then you have to compete with Switch, Steam Deck and Rog Ally.
Then you have the whole cloud system as I mentioned above.
I don't see the driving force to get into this.
It could be something of a PlayStation Portal and Steamdeck to all third party stores and devices. And more than likely a next gen series s equivalent but portable.
They could probably take the tech from their surface products, preferably the pro/studio, in and ever viviente package, play at home on your console proper, then take the portable for the carpool to work, then continue the game on your pc at work.
