An Xbox handheld could finally show up during the Xbox Games Showcase, but I hope it’s not a PlayStation Portal rival

To the dismay of portable gaming fans, the long-rumored Xbox handheld failed to show up at the publisher's Games Showcase. Whether or not a portable version of the console is in the works has yet to be confirmed, but while the company won't be entering the best gaming handheld ring quite yet, it's about to send more console contenders to battle.

In addition to the current line-up, three new Xbox consoles are set to arrive this year. The trio includes an all-digital Series X with a white shell, a new Series S with 1TB of storage, and a revamped Series X with a massive 2TB drive. As for new hardware, Xbox's Sarah Bond says the company is "hard at work on the next generation," which should provide reassurance that it's not exiting the console market.
