Sony has a few, Nintendo does and even SEGA has offered a few in the past: handheld consoles. While Nintendo revolutionized the video game industry with the GameBoy at the end of the 80s, other providers such as Sony and SEGA fell significantly behind.

Thanks to Xbox Game Pass, it is now possible to immerse yourself in the world of video games almost anywhere in the world – thanks to the cloud. But now it seems as if Microsoft doesn't want to rely exclusively on a web-based solution. Accordingly, there are increasing rumors online that the company based in Redmond, USA, is apparently working on some prototypes of a portable handheld console. In fact, the first ones are said to have already been completed, as Windows Central Managing Editor Jez Corden claimed in the Xbox Two Podcast.
In principle, this type of development would be nothing new for Microsoft. It was already known in the past that there were prototype ideas for creating an “Xbox-to-go” console, but they never saw the light of day.
