whats ur opinion....

(Imagine playing Halo in your hands!!!!!!!)
 
No, I don't see the point, unless they can offer something different then PSP or the DS. I wouldn't mind if they decided to publish games for one of those (but that seems unlikely)

WELL, 'ZUNE', THEIR NEW MULTIMEDIA PLAYER IS COMING OUT THIS FALL/WINTER, SO I'D SAY THEY'RE HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION ALREADY.

With the graphic of the xbox consoles all that power put into your hands, would be amazing.....:up:
 
meh, might as well get a PSP if all they are going to offer is great graphics. Now if they had a handheld that could connect to Live, and you could download games and stuff on it that might be cool.
 
yah having the portable console have live play is the next gen of handheld games and I bet thats what Microsoft should pionner and should have it under their sleeves in secret development...

'ZUNE' WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO DO JUST THAT, AT SOME POINT. IT'LL HAVE AN 80GB HD, AND HAVE 'LIVE ANYWHERE' FUNCTIONALITY........SO I'D SAY THEY'VE GOT SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THE WORKS. OF COURSE, IT WILL PROBABLY ONLY PLAY "ARCADE" STYLE GAMES.......NOTHING XBOX-QUALITY AT ALL. BUT IF THEY DO WELL ENOUGH WITH 'ZUNE', YOU CAN BET THEY GO AFTER THE HANDHELD GAMING MARKET NEXT.............'MS' LIKES TO PLAY FROM BEHIND FOR SOME REASON. :o
 
No, they're already supporting the DS with quite a few titles, they have no interest in the hand held market, that's not why they got into the games industry in the first place, it was to take the "living room media center" market that PS3 and 360 are now fighting over. Zune is just Microsoft's crappy iPod killer anyways, I doubt it'll ever play games anymore than a cellphone.
 
if mIcrosoft tried they could real revolutionize the handheld market......
 
If Sony and Nintendo can successfully put out a handheld unit, why can't Microsoft?

Though it will be a flop in Japan (*hint*hint* Don't release any more future Xbox consoles or possible handhelds in Japan Mr. Gates.)

Just like the Playstation Portable does :o
 
I think it'd be best for Mircosoft to focus it's efforts on the 360.

heh, dude, I don't feel like paying more mass amounts of money on a game system right now, I have my 360, heh, I am fine...I'm waiting out for the Wii also...so, I must save
 
i voted yes but it doesnt matter because they arent gonna make one because i said so. but i said yes because i dont really care but if it was good then i would get it. but if i said no then i would never know....so i voted yes.
