Microsoft has no significant catalog of existing games that will run on a handheld console, unlike Valve, so they would slam headfirst right into the same problem that killed the Sony PSP and Vita: getting publishers to publish or port to it.
If they can establish a market for a streaming handheld, they can sneak up on becoming a handheld console too by adding the ability to play local games in a future iteration.
