I et lengre intervju med Gamasutra har Microsofts helt egen Phil Spencer snakket om et avlyst prosjekt som firmaet jobbet med for noen år siden, nemlig en håndholdt konsoll.
"Well, let me say that the amount of times we've designed, roughly designed, an Xbox handheld, or a cheap Xbox kind of stick that you could plug in and stream from an Xbox in the home, or play low-powered games... we are always thinking and brainstorming on different scenarios of where the console could go. Or where the gaming experience, I guess, more specifically, could go. In terms of where consoles will go, I still believe in the power of a television in the home.
I know it's something that we're committed to, in the long run. Nintendo, I thought, did a cool thing with picking mobile. They kind of said okay, Switch is going to be a console that you can take with you. That's an interesting idea. Nintendo always does cool things, right. They did the second screen with Wii U, they obviously did the Wii and motion gaming in the room. I love that innovation."
Hadde det fristet med en sterk Xbox-håndholdt?
