In 2016, Xbox confirmed that it at one point had plans to create an "Xboy," a handheld Xbox device to compete with Nintendo's 3DS and PlayStation's PS Vita. However, Microsoft was never able to allocate the resources necessary for Xbox to make a genuine product push. No word of an Xbox handheld device has been rumored since, but a new push for Xbox Cloud Gaming and Xbox Game Pass is reinvigorating the discussion among fans. That's not all, however, as an interesting recent hardware announcement also has fans thinking about an Xboy.
