There's no niche for Microsoft to fill.


Sony already has the "uber-powerful" handheld. Microsoft doesn't have enough popular IPs like Nintendo does to release a new handheld and have it be a success.

well, I Know that Microsoft's handheld, if there ever will be one, wouldn't be a succes, but It would be better for us, more competition between the companies so cheaper handhelds for us right?

Microsoft has a handheld platform, they had a handheld platform since 2002, it's called Windows Mobile.

They have no plans to enter the handheld console market - they wish to add proper gaming functionality to future Windows Phone revisions and they want to encourage developers to design phones that will utilize it to its fullest as far as I know.

Everybody was suprised that Microsoft actually entered the console scene with the original XBox - don't expect them to enter the handheld scene the same way anytime soon. They don't even produce phones as of today, handhelds are just not their thing.

I have something against Microsoft. The something is called "Live"
It's better than f*cking WFC/Nintendo Network in every way imaginable. Sure you gotta pay for it, but at least it "supports useful things" - no friend code bull*hit, proper voice chat (unlike Wii Voice or however that box is called), proper gamer profiles, proper store - what more would anyone want?

It's the whole "having to subscribe so I can access the store to buy more things" that I have the problem with.

Xbox Live is the best online network available on game consoles. Silly to complain about it when it's much better than the competition.

XBox Live Gold is a service separate from the console with its own fees and rules, much like PSN+.

(Also, welcome to the EoF, XBL Gold fees are incredibly stupid and nobody should be forced to pay for playing multiplayer games he or she already paid for, we're in the 21st century.)
