Microsoft’s gaming division is creating prototypes for a handheld gaming gadget that will not launch for “a couple of years,” gaming chief Phil Spencer stated Wednesday. In an interview with Bloomberg, Spencer stated that whereas Microsoft is actively engaged on prototypes, the corporate will first deal with enhancing its Xbox app efficiency on present transportable gadgets and establishing {hardware} partnerships.
The gaming unit needs to be “knowledgeable by studying and what’s occurring now” earlier than introducing its personal gadget, Spencer stated. “Long term, I like us constructing gadgets,” Spencer stated, including that Microsoft’s workforce “might do some actual modern work.”
