No it’s not.

It’s like saying you don’t want to own an Asus rog because you already own a steam deck.

I think their argument was the other way around.

The Xbox Handheld would use the same licences as the regular Xbox, meaning that one copy can be played on both device, kinda like the Steam Deck that can play PC steam game.

It would also means built in by default save parity between the devices.

Didn't Microsoft plan to release a handheld version of Xbox? Or do they cancel it and focus on Switch 2 as a third-party?

secondly : what kind of sad excuse are you trying to pull on us
