Microsoft Canceled Xbox Handheld Over AMD's 10 Million Unit Requirement
The rumored Xbox handheld was canceled reportedly due to AMD's high minimum order requirements of over 10 million units, which Microsoft was unwilling to commit to, especially given the sales figures of comparable devices like Steam Deck and ASUS ROG. The system was never officially announced, and the cancellation may also reflect Microsoft's strategic shift towards third-party publishing. Despite this, a different portable Xbox device, the ROG Xbox Ally, is launching soon and has already sold out.
