The Xbox ROG Ally leaked via regulatory documents earlier this year, and recent reporting by Windows Central claims Microsoft’s plans for an Xbox handheld built in-house have been sidelined for the time being. Could this be the start of Microsoft leaning entirely on third-parties for licensing Xbox gaming hardware?

We're been hearing rumors for what feels like an eternity about Microsoft working with ASUS' ROB division on a gaming handheld device and we got confirmation during the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest.

During the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft finally revealed its handheld in a partnership with Asus. The ROG Xbox Ally will come later this year and will be available in two variants.The new portable comes in two versions: the ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X.
