The head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, has occasionally let slip that a portable Xbox console is a possibility, but now it is a reality, as he stressed in an interview with Bloomberg: “The expectation is that we would do something,” said Spencer, who at the same time added that any device is a few years away.
