It's had been a long way from a portable Xbox, eventually it looks like Microsoft has at least one form of portable gaming in mind if this latest word from the European company's has any indication.

As they were commenting on the Zune's potential game playing abilities in an interview with TotalVideoGames.com, it has been said that "gaming is certainly something we're considering for the device." Unfortunately, that's about all they had said on the subject, although if we had to guess, we'd expect the games to be more in line with the iPod's than a shrunken-down version of Gears of War.

Some of the Xbox 360 connectivity would have been seem to be a definite possibility, however, given that it's able to share other content with the console's. It also seems likely that this won't be the full extent of Microsoft's foray into portable gaming, in connection of some of the earlier points we've heard.
