Jason Ronald, Microsoft’s (MSFT) VP of “Next Generation,” told The Verge that people should expect to see the Windows handheld gaming experience change within this current calendar year, following hints dropped by Xbox Gaming CEO Phil Spencer about an Xbox handheld. At a roundtable event, Ronald hinted that the company plans to bring the Xbox experience to Windows PCs, not the other way around, The Verge’s Tom Warren and Sean Hollister note. “We’ve been really innovating for a long time in the console space, and as we partner across the industry it’s really about how do we bring those innovations that we’ve incubated and developed in the console space and bring them to PC and bring them to the handheld gaming space,” Ronald said. “I would say it’s bringing the best of Xbox and Windows together, because we have spent the last 20 years building a world-class operating system, but it’s really locked to the console,” he added. “What we’re doing is we’re really focused on how do we bring those experiences for both players and developers to the broader Windows ecosystem.”
