Kim "very happy" Microsoft never launched a handheld

VG247: Speaking at the Microsoft Gamer's Day earlier this week, Xbox boss Shane Kim has finally put down perpetual talk of a Microsoft gaming handheld saying he's pleased the company never entered the portable fray with Nintendo and Sony.

"I'm very happy we didn't get into it, because launching a handheld platform is like launching another Xbox 360," he said. "You have to be fully committed, as an organisation, from a resource standpoint, to doing that."
