There is no need to release a dedicated handheld, all they need is Xcloud as it can run on anything.
Why waste R&D, on developing a handheld, just for Xcloud? There is a reason why Xbox has never attempted the handheld market.

" I didn't say anything bad about the screen attachment of the Series S I was talking about making a smaller portable version of the XBOX."
They already have made a portable Xbox, it is my phone, your phone, any tablet, and it is called Xcloud, no native hardware needed, soon to be available on TV's also.
Yep, i wanted the next-gen games, as well as the other benefits next-gen brings to the table.
Same reason there will be some PS5 owners gaming on a 1080p TV, for the games and Dualsense, and other features.
I see no rush to waste £500 on a panel that can only display 4K @ 60hz, and to get a 4K/120hz panel TV in the UK, the bottom line is around £800+, so yeah still on 1080 until 4K @ 120fps is viable.
Not quite sure what PS5 has to do with FPS boost? but go on, i'll bite.
PS5 solution is 1080p @ 60fps due to the update for the PS4 Pro. (PS5 is same res/fps as PS4 Pro)
Xbox Series is 900p @ 60fps due to not receiving the update for Xbox One X (Series is better performance than Xbox one)
FPS boost pushes this from 900p @ 30fps on original Xbox One to 900p @ 60fps for Series S/X
Congratulations on your 180p increa...
All we need is Auto-HDR and that should make the fidelity a bit better.
I'll be good, i'm still on a 1080p TV
"However one thing that they could and should do is a Xbox GamePass Cloud based system."
They already do don't they? Xcloud can be accessed via phones, tablets, PC's, Xbox One's, and is included with Gamepass Ultimate, with some games exclusive to the cloud.
Ok, just a few points :-
"let's be real for a sec people buy an Xbox or PlayStation to be able to play games that push the limits in the gaming world."
Gamers will not be buying the Series S to "push the limits of the gaming world" that is what the X is for.
"also, it will just be in the way of progress. because making games being able to run decently on a slow HDD/SSD is just a hinder for a more capable mac...
Such an awesome feature to breath new life into games is FPS Boost, will have to give this a try.
This will be update number 3, current version is 1.23
Patches currently stand around 12.
Edit : Seems like update 1.3 may be the one this article is talking about
"Given that both PS plus and Xbox live has been offering free (by free i mean the monthly games you get at no additional cost) for years now"
False, you pay a monthly fee to receive those games, so they are not free
There is a difference from a developer/publisher standpoint between available for life (with a sub PS+ and GWG), or available for a few months, common sense dictates you would pick the availability of a few months.
@Vizigoth04
They get free exposure/advertising to a userbase of currently 24 million gamers.
They will then get a per install fixed imbursement.
Not all these game developers are getting million dollar cheques upon using the service lol. I would be surprised if any are.
Either way, the bottom line is, developers are making money off gamepass, hence why they are adding more and more games, why EA have jumped in for a slice of th...
Not as much as you would be led to believe
@King_Noctis
There are still many ISP's that have data caps, especially in the US.
In the UK, data caps are not really a thing so we are lucky, but we do get a "fair usage" section in the small print, and some ISP's initiate peak time throttling.
There are still many, many countries that either have data caps, or slow broadband.
"Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance's physical sales came almost entirely from PS5 and PS4 in the UK"
Not really surprising seeing as it was on Gamepass day 1.
" it's a beautiful way of getting people in, getting engaged and showing that it's a stellar game. Then people are really tempted to buy more. So the business model really works to our advantage."
But but but.... developers can not surely... make profit off Gamepass.... /s
We finally get some commentary on the gamepass model from a developer view, and how it is profitable for developers putting their games on the service, resulting in mo...
Loving the xbox one and Series X tags lmao
I'll be tuning in.
"Wasn't Medium already on gamepass?"
It still is, this is The Medium available on Xcloud, therefore on base Xbox One as well.
So we "lost" UFC 2 and 3, and "won" UFC 4
Kind of makes that other article a nonsensical waste of time now.
"What a horrid idea how on earth can you take a series s on the go lol"
The same way you can take a laptop on the go, a bag.
