In response to the news that Microsoft may launch a game handheld console, relevant statements once again allege that Microsoft has built multiple game handheld prototypes internally, but they seem to be only used to evaluate the feasibility of the development of the game handheld market and may not be released as actual commercial products.
The news once again alleged that Microsoft is building a prototype of a game handheld internally, but it may only be used to evaluate market development.
According to what Jez Corden, author of the Windows Central website, said on the Xbox Two Podcast, it is alleged that Microsoft’s evaluation may take a long time to complete, and it may even need to confirm that it is profitable before the project can become an official product.
However, since this news is only speculation, Microsoft did not make any response.
Prior to this, Kevin Bachus, the former director of third-party partnerships for Xbox at Microsoft, mentioned in an interview thatPrototype design of three different handheld consolesbut since the names are all called “X-Boy”, there will obviously be disputes over the use of trademarks. Coupled with other considerations, Microsoft ultimately did not launch a handheld product in the game market.
Valve recently challenged the Windows game console market with Steam Deck, and many players in the market continue to build game consoles using the Windows operating system. This allows the thermal design power consumption to be enough to be put into the processor of the handheld device to perform at the 3A level. The game seems to have made Microsoft consider the development opportunities of game consoles again, and even added it to the PC version of the Xbox application serviceNew compact mode (Compact Mode), making it more suitable for use on handheld touch screens with limited screen size.
At present, in addition to Valve, AYANEO, which has been in the Windows game handheld market for a long time, and ASUS, Lenovo and MSI, which have subsequently joined the competition in the Windows game handheld market, are obviously eyeing the development opportunities of game handhelds in the future.
However, Microsoft may also consider the risks behind building its own game handhelds. Therefore, it may also cooperate with processors and game developers, license technology, or use resources such as the Xbox brand logo to make more game handhelds capable. Integrate Xbox game services.
