Hand-held gaming received a lot of attention this year at E3, with both Sony Computer Entertainment and Nintendo introducing new portable gaming devices. But don't look for Microsoft to launch a dedicated portable game player of its own.

"For us, and my group, we're focused on Xbox," said Robbie Bach, Microsoft's chief Xbox officer. "Deciding to go into another dedicated gaming device would be a big, tough row to hoe. We're more interested in making the smart investment we made in Xbox pay off in a big way over the next three or four years."
