The Future of Handheld Gaming: Xbox Takes Aim at PlayStation Portal
As a gamer, I’ve always been fascinated by the world of handheld gaming. The freedom to play anywhere, anytime, is a tantalizing prospect. And now, it seems that Microsoft is gearing up to take on Sony’s PlayStation Portal with its own Xbox gaming handheld.
In a recent interview with IGN, Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, hinted that the Xbox gaming handheld would be more like the Asus ROG Ally, a powerful gaming device that can play games locally, rather than relying on streaming like the PlayStation Portal. This is a significant departure from Sony’s approach, and one that could potentially give Microsoft an edge in the handheld gaming market.

Spencer’s comments have sparked a lot of interest in the gaming community, with many wondering what this new handheld device might look like. One thing is certain, however: Microsoft is serious about entering the handheld market, and it’s willing to invest in making a device that can compete with the likes of the Asus ROG Ally and Steam Deck.

But what does this mean for gamers? For one, it means that we can expect a more refined operating system, possibly similar to SteamOS, which would make the Xbox gaming handheld a more attractive option for those who want a seamless gaming experience on-the-go. Additionally, the ability to play games locally, without the need for a WiFi connection, is a major selling point for many gamers.

As someone who’s been following the handheld gaming scene for a while, I’m excited to see how Microsoft’s new device will shape up. With the Xbox gaming handheld, Microsoft has the potential to create a device that’s not only powerful but also user-friendly, with a more refined operating system and the ability to play games locally.
