The portable Xbox is coming: That much, it seems, is no longer up for debate. The question is when such a device will arrive. In an interview posted today by gaming site Kikizo, Shane Kim, a Microsoft corporate VP, confirmed perpetual rumors that the company's popular console will finally be getting a handheld counterpart.The Image is a Mockup of what the Xbox Portable could look like.

That looks like it would be very awkward to play on. So would the vuneX. If the d-pads where a little higher it looks like you would be able to hold it better.

Well it's about time, long ago they were in doubt into making a handheld version of the 360, so are they still going to call it the 'X-boy' or not.

wouldn't it be awesome to a company with so much money that you can fail until you succeed.
maybe this could be natal compatible. you just throw the system in the air, make a physical gesture and then catch it again...score!
christ, i should be on microsoft's r and d team.

I think this is a better looking one than the one in the article pic.
Anyone have any other ideas?

The only draw back is that Microsoft is building it with a 14inch long 3 inch wide power brick and this "portable" device cannot run off batteries -- it must be plugged in. On the plus side the cord is a very generous 3ft in length.
And the boot time is clocking in at 7mins as it is running a "lighter" version of Vista.
Nintendo better watch out! This looks like a DS killer!

Portable ring of death. Awesome! At least the portable is unlikely to have optical media it can scratch on use. :'(

Let's hope that it will have a bigger screen and less of a bulky size =/.

That mock-up is awful. I'm totally down with a portable Xbox (Achievements on the go? YES PLEASE), but I sure hope it looks better than that!

I see N-Gage references in the near future.

N-gage references and N-Gage success (wait, what success?).
Should Microsoft be jumping in on this, with Nintendo's subtle popularity with the DS and Sony's versatile PSP?

This is the rumored ZuneX, a competitor for the iphone. Everyone including Sony (with their PSP Phone) has to join the bandwagon because the iphone is starting to dominate the smartphone arena and eventually the mobile gaming arena (and everything else mobile). Basically, everyone has no choice but to follow suit.
This is the future, and I already intend to buy the ZuneX ever since it was rumored some months ago.

I know this is just a mock up, and it looks nice, but surely it would make more sense to put a d-pad on the left rather than cut and paste the front of an ipod?
If the portable device from microsoft is everything the PSP is but better....and available in black...then i would get one. Anything less and as a PSP user i wouldnt feel the want to change.

Wow, this can be the real rival to the iPhone and Nintendo or just a flop.
Hopefully, they will find some way they could put four should buttons and two analog sticks so we can play XBLA games on it. If they do, I will shit my pants and pre order mine at the first moment.
