Shane Kim, vice president of Microsoft Game Studios, when asked whether Microsoft would consider releasing a portable Xbox, he apparently replied “he would never say never.” Shane spoke to the New York Times, saying…”Launching a portable device is like launching another Xbox 360. You have to really step back and ask, ‘Devoting whatever bandwidth and resources you would have to make the Zune a multifunction device, is that really the best way to go?”
Kim also said: “The generation has a long way to go so it’s way too early to declare a winner,” he further added he believes the Xbox 360 will have something to say before the Wii is announced as the winner of the new gen consoles. He went on to say…”I remember a couple of weeks ago, a lot of people were predicting that the Patriots would win the Super Bowl, too. For you Europeans out there – the New England Patriots lost the Super bowl to the New York Giants.”
