X-Boy???

If Microsoft could sucessfully launch a portable Xbox into the market, and uproot nintendo's market dominance,I am sure Microsoft could be market leader in the gaming world.

yes, I too have heard of the X-boy, but microsoft is re-considering it

Wouldn't go very far b/c many already have GBA which then getting another system requires you to buy more games.

Every single handheld that has gone against the Game Boy empire has died a horrible and obscure death. Nobody would leave GBA because it's simply the best handheld on the market and nobody wants to support another system that might die like the rest.

A X-Boy sounds cool!

I've seen XboX controllers. They're are little big. Microsoft would also probably think a backlight would be a brilliant idea. The way it looks, if Microsoft did carry out the X-boy idea, we'd get another Game Gear.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

No. The controller is big, but comfortable. They did consumer tests and stuff. If they made a an X-Boy they would test with gamers to get the right shape.
p.s If sony did a portable do you think they would call it Play-Boy! lol (sorry, bad joke)
p.p.s How do you have a picture or a quote or an animation or whatever permantly at the bottom of the meesage?

B.S

i ve got big hands, but its not about that. the whole thing is to big for intence gaming, it hurts after a minute or so (or maybe i m well treated on my GameCube controller? ) .anyway, and XBOY is FAR mor costly than u think.an XBOX cant get that small...how do u cool down a P3 733 in a compact system? in the best case, it would look like a laptop.

They'd be sued by Nintendo for sure if they went with that name.
