First image of Xbox handheld and Cloud streaming box

I feel like there were reports that the cloud streaming box was scrapped? Handheld is very interesting to me though.
Is it really describing a Xbox handheld or just a handlheld gaming PC that can play Gamepass / xCloud?
Looks like official images and not just generic mockup of the long rumoured Xbox Cloud streaming box and a surprise Xbox handheld.
Thought it deserved its own thread.
Full slide
Handheld was almost definitely scrapped in favour of supporting the third party PC handhelds, which is a shame. Would have been nice to see something more official.
Those are absolutely mock-ups. If the hybrid console is due in 2028, they won't have a final design at this point.
Massive yikers! I feel dirty reading all this lol. A handheld MS device could be really cool as a bit plus of my Steam Deck is getting to play MS games...still not convinced those are official and not just potential concepts that maybe have had some RnD go into them.
Handheld not getting funded
Found a bigger/better pic of it off Google Search, this one?
The one in the original picture looks different. Black D-Pad, more glossy, other button allignment in the middle.
Doc is hosted at the Gov servers. I assumed it was FTC.
lol I saw someone using that image to headline an article about the leaks, so I thought it was new/the same one in the OP, my bad
I think it's real
Next gen
Xbox portable with an S profile (1080p screen)
Xbox home console with an X profile (4K all the bells and whistles)

Not sure the handheld is neccessarily an Xbox device, but seeing everything else is a graphic drawing compared to most things possibly?
That new Elite controller does seem new too. Sigh, just as I invested in a new one. The middle button seems aligned to the buttons next to it, and there isn't a ridge at the top, the two shoulder buttons seem more pronounced. Curious to hear if anything else is different about that. Adaptive triggers would be particularly great, but.. does it make sense to make them mid gen, would developers even support it? Otherwise interesting the other leaked controller is being seen as a new tier between Core and Elite.

From the same presentation:
Handheld is not happening.
I don't think you're reading this slide properly. Handheld is a 2030 goal, but is not in scope for 2023.

Midgen Consoles đź‘€
Referring to Series S 1TB and the 'to be announced' Series X 2TB digital-only.
The handheld isn't the goal. The market leading position is the 2030 goal.
The codenames point to refreshes.
Yes. I agree. But handheld is not in scope for 2023. It's a gap.
If it's definitively not happening, it won't be on the slide.
new Elite really needs hall effect + shoulder button redesign (and personally i would rather they just do away with the rubber for the standard Series controller texture), on top of whatever else theyre doing.
edit nvm theyre gonna fund more head ass color skus for standard and next controller before they get around to a new Elite

That's what I mean. The goal is to lead the market by 2030. To do that they commit to penetrating the handheld market, but they're saying they won't do it with their own device (i.e. they'll support the Ally etc., hence turning up at their launch)
Parked. Waiting for it to be the right price point offering.
They're saying they're not doing it in 2023 with their own device.
I think it means it's not a goal for first party as they are focused in supporting third party handheld PC like the deck or Asus ROG.
