Spencer has quickly responded to the fans' questions, stating that the company has still no plans to build any sort of handheld Xbox platform because the software company believed that the smartphone would be the platform for all of the mobile gaming market.
In the past, the Redmond-based software company has made some plans to enter the handheld console market several times.In an interview with IGN, former Xbox chief Robbie Bach did discuss and explained that Microsoft had made rough plans for a portable device several times. The software giant's idea has even given a strange name for its own handheld effort 'Xboy'.
Microsoft's handheld effort has managed to enter the early stages of the game development, but in the end, the Redmond-based company decided not to push on with the planned handheld device.
The reason for not entering the handheld gaming market has nothing to do with the mobile market. But according to Bach, the reason why Microsoft has never entered the handheld market was, because the company can't make a laser focus thing when it came to finite plans.
