Microsoft Pauses Internal Development on Xbox Gaming Handheld to Focus on Support for Third-Party Partner Options

I have my doubts about it being an actual Xbox handheld and think it will probably be an xbox cloud/pc gamepass portable.
 
I think MS should licence the xbox brand to handhelds manufacturers, at least initially. Then go with "desktop" consoles.

no need for the xbox handhelds to run native xbox games, just pc game pass games and xbox cloud, they could even throw steam games while you are at it.
 
This is clearly a move because MS is actually afraid of being washed out of the hand held market by Steam OS. And honestly from what EVERYONE who has owned one and reviewed one and compared to MS handheld performance... they SHOULD be. Microsoft is well and truly screwed here.

Who would have known that after all the years of SteamOS failures it would come back from the dead on a handheld.

MS better release a "Windows Gaming" or Xbox OS for PC version or something like that. Steam is ready to go for the desktop market yet again.
 
If MS wants to be REALLY smart... they would release a partnership with Steam and have the SteamBox but the problem there is you can't make them at a loss and count on licensing to bridge the gap to profitability. They would need another avenue.
