Jeff Grubb: Microsoft might really regret not having its own portable console

Insider and journalist of the publication VentureBeat Jeff Grubb commented on the recently announced portable console Steam Deck from company Valve… In particular, he tried to look at the situation from the perspective of a corporation. Microsoft

Grubb believes that along with the announcement Steam Deck, given the relatively low cost of the device, Valve’s management has taken a very serious step in trying to capture a large segment of the market. This, he believes, could potentially make Microsoft regret not having its own portable console.

“Incredible pricing policy [в отношении Steam Deck] speaks of Valve’s confidence that she can become the main one here. And I think Microsoft is going to regret not having its own handheld console since Game Pass still needs new hardware to support it. “

It is noteworthy that the blogger reacted to Grabb’s publication Rand al thor, with whom the journalist often conducts joint podcasts. He suggested that Microsoft might actually release its own portable gaming system in the future.

“Jeff, who said the Xbox won’t release their own handheld in a year or two?”

In response, Jeff Grubb did not go into speculation, but only noted that in this case, Microsoft “should not be delayed” with the release of its portable system.

Recall that the release The Steam Deck is slated for December this year in select countries.
