Microsoft's answer to the Gameboy?

[Schadenfroh]

if i were them i would make the next xbox use a controller with wireless connection and lcd screen. but the controller itself would have a ton of ram in it and cpu/gpu built into it so it could be used to watch movies, play its own games, downloaded thru the xbox basestation and be a totally seperate system from XboxNext or whatever xbox2 is going to be called.

but that is just what i would do. most likely microsoft will just make a few games for pocketpc and call it even.

If the controller does all that, what would the console do? And do you realize how expensive multiplayer gaming would be that way? The best part of xbox is rallisport challenge head-to-head on the 65" television and talking smack to friends.

not only owuld it make the base station kinda obsolete, how big an lcd we talking here... the controller is already a damn moinster, add a screen big enouch to watch movies on, and space for ram and a CPU and then the button layout, and if its wireless the battery pack... thats a monster controller.... and since MS doesnt make their on GPU's who else other than Nintendo and Nokia(N-gauge) make processors small enough yet powerfull enough to run quality games like that...
