What's happening with Microsoft's handheld Xbox?

Xbox Ready released one of their typically clickbaity videos recently with a title and thumbnail suggesting that a portable Xbox was on the way. This is of course not true as what they are actually discussing is a Dev Kit demo by Razer and Qualcomm which teased the possibility of a gaming device focussed on game streaming and remote play from your console rather than a Steam Deck like portable games console. Not quite the Xbox portable they promised.

Tom Warren at the Verge has got Game Pass working on his steam deck and believes that demonstrates that an Xbox portable is a viable product. The market for these devices is slowly emerging. The Nintendo Switch has been a massive success with huge sales numbers however its not clear to me that the mobile aspect of this device is whats driving these sales numbers. Consider that this is Nintendos only games console right now and they have gone out of their way to make these device easy to share with detachable controllers and colouful designs which appeal to a broader, younger audience. Or their parents. The Switch has sold 103 million units as of Feb 2022 which makes it their most popular console to date! Nintendo also see this console as being in the middle of its lifecycle. It will be interesting to see if their next device continues this trend or they revert back to a standard Box under the TV design.
