Microsoft should launch a handheld gaming system based on The Duke.
- You mean the second worst controller design after the N64?
  Honestly though, who's hands are that big?
  
  Sacrilege.
- I wonder how odd that would feel in my hands today. I remember being blown away by it when I unpacked the OG Xbox.
  
  Don’t let your dreams be dreams
This would be super exciting except Steam Deck has already probably fully eaten their lunch.
- I think it depends what the price is. If they can make the experience compelling enough while (heavily) undercutting the Steam Deck then they may be onto a winner.
  ... Though being in the console market people will make comparisons to the Switch, so that might be their target price point.
- Yep their best bet would be working on creating their game pass app for Linux/steam deck. With how awesome the deck is I would sign for it. Wouldn’t even bad hard to implement but m$ going to m$
  
  With how awful the deck is...
  Wut
I can't help but picture the original, massive as fuck Xbox controller with a screen on it.
- I’d be totally down. I had gotten used to the Duke controller in its massiveness, so I hated the S controller when it came out.
  I generally dislike change.
- Running Windows CE
There have been rumors about this forever. I would be very interested to see what they can do, but I also am not expecting to see one at all. Or they might make one that only streams, like the PlayStation one.
Yeah no thanks, I've kicked my Windows habits, I don't need it anymore. I have no interest in this now that I have a steam deck.
Eh. I'm happy with my Lenovo Legion Go playing Game Pass... and Steam... and literally everything else.
The only way I would buy one is if it runs Gamepass, digital Xbox game purchases, and Windows, so I can run pc games too.
Anything less, it's a no from me.
- No windows please... Or you'll have endless useless updates every time and crashes and bugs
  
  I just don't want what the Playstation Portal is, just a streaming device from the xbox
