Microsoft: No Xbox Handheld In The Works
Senior Regional Director of the Home and Entertainment Division
(Northern & Eastern Europe) Neil Thompson, speaking to
T3 magazine,
has said Microsoft has no plans to step into the handheld market just
yet. This in contrast to several rumors that Microsoft has a team
already working on such a project.
“We’re not even thinking
about that at the moment. Handhelds, in the way you would think about a
handheld like a PSP? No.” Thompson stated. He went on to say, “the
mobile phone market offers us a really good opportunity to capitalise
on the hundreds of millions of handsets that are out there, and give
people a chance to connect that with other entertainment experiences”.
