According to Microsoft corporate vice president Shane Kim, speaking to Kikizo the hand hel version for Xbox can be expected in near future. and this will rival the PSP, Nintendo DSi and even the iPod Touch/iPhone.
“For us, it’s a matter of focusing on ‘when’, because if we chased after a mobile or handheld opportunity, we would not have the resources and ability to do things like… Project Natal. So we’ve chosen to focus on the living room experience from a hardware standpoint, if you will, but we’re building a service in Live that will… will extend to other platforms. No question about it.”
“So the question will be, how do we enter into that market – do we do our own device, do we create our own phone – that’s a question for the company itself – do we continue to go down the Windows Mobile path which is that path that we’re on today, etc, etc,”
says Kim.
This handheld is supposed to take aspects of Upcoming Zune HD. Also if this handheld have the phone part in it, it means a direct fight with the Apple and could force sony to come up with the long rumored PSP Phone.
