Why hasn't microsoft challenged sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS with a handheld console?

Bud Espenshade: MS are probably focusing on their next gen console rather than than a portable device. (Excluding Windows phones)

Neely Youngblut: They batted around the idea of a portabox several years ago (around the time of the PSP/DS launches), and ultimately decided it wasn't a market worth getting into due to Nintendo's chokehold on it. IMO it was pretty shortsighted, given MS's desire to get into the tablet/smartphone/etc market. They could have built a killer device and had the market cornered, but, well, MS was never a company to really chase the bleeding edge. Probably too late now....Show more
