What numbers gave you that information? This christmas season showed something like a 100% increase in wii sales compared to the same time in the previous year... everyone got a bump this year but as much as we all love sony there are as many ps3s out there now as there were wii's in 2007

How were the controls with the PSP rather than the motion control?

God awful, but the concept was nice you need to be a classical pianist to have the ablity to get your fingures in the right place,

this feature is only really good for games with simpiler controlls

We all know its bound to happen, so what games do you think would be made for it and what would its "gimmick" be?

The XBP (Xbox Portable) would feature an astounding 20 minutes of gameplay before overheating, incorporate a microphone for instant douchebaggery, and best of all, feature "Xbox LIVE - Sorta," which would involve tethering yourself to an actual utility pole in order to get a good connection.

Package it with Halo 3.5: Arbiter Boogaloo and we've got a hot seller, baby!

Dont forget "Pert Music Note" (RPG fans will get this reference.)

It does'nt need a gimmick it would turn out to be a huge one rolled into a vaguley blackberry shaped pustrule that would be as popular as an N-gage strapped to a faulty lawn mower

With the handheld market as it is now, it'll be hard for MS to launch a competing product. I don't see it happening any time soon, especially since the Zune failed so hard as well.

 

[geldonyetich]

I see Eggo beat me to mentioning the Windows Mobile [http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/default.mspx].

I wonder if differentiating a handheld from an iPhone clone is necessary. The iPhone does have a lot of games out for it, after all, but it's no DS.

 

[mattttherman3]

If it does happen, i wont buy it, if i get it as a gift, it gets returned asap

 

[JerichoWing]

I'd probably give it a chance.

 

[smithy1234]

I'm wondering what the damn thing would look like!

 

[JerichoWing]

QUIET MID-BOSS (I have always wanted to say that XD)

 

[bad rider]

How would they fit the three red rings on there?

 

[JerichoWing]

Psht, red rings. It would probably explode.

 

[Grimm91]

Halo and Gears. I doubt it will have a gimmick though and if it does, I will be so very confused.

 

[JerichoWing]

Trust me knowing Microsoft their going to start rounding together MILLIONS of indie developers to try and make a bunch of portable "Braids" but ultimately fail.

 

[axia777]

It's gimmick would be mini-RRoD. That and Blue Screen of Death.

 

[JerichoWing]

Could you guys stop mentioning RRoD we've all established that already, think of something else XD

 

[The Wooster]

Gimmick?

It would run games.

For about 30 seconds.

Before it bursts into flames in your hands.
