Well look at it this way. I know for a FACT that Microsoft is working on a new portable. Them making games for GBA is in a seperate agreement, all Microsoft is doing is licensing the games (including Rare's GBA games) to a 3rd party publisher.
I have worked with Microsoft a lot (if any of you ever heard of Xbox Evolved I ran that site) and you all know how Microsoft is. They always go by that "Anything you can do I can do better" mentality.
A very reliable source even told me that when he was at E3 he was talking to the president of Amazon.com who apparently was shown the ideas to the new Xbox portable. I would be very, very surprised if Microsoft didn't announce any plans for a portable next year.
